Exercising with Dumbbells
The evidence is in for fitness. Regular dumbbell exercise has been associated with more health benefits than anything else known to man. Studies show that it reduces the risk of some cancers, increases longevity, helps achieve and maintain weight loss, enhances mood, lowers blood pressure, and even improves arthritis. In short, exercise keeps you healthy and makes you look and feel better. To follow you'll find a simple dumbbell routine that can be performed in the comfort of your own home.
This is a full body workout to be performed 2 to 3 times a week. You should finish in about an hour. Concentrate on correct form and perform each repetition nice and slow to fully work the muscle avoid injury. Perfect for the beginner or person with a busy lifestyle. There are many advantages to exercising even if it's just one day a week. To keep this routine under an hour and also benefit from a cardio only rest for 30-seconds between sets. You may have to build up to this. After following this dumbbell routine for 2 months pick new exercises for each muscle group. 10 repetitions is good for toning and shaping. If you want to add muscle do lower reps. If you want to see more definition in the muscle you have do even higher reps. 10 is a good compromise for most people.
