Looking for a simple home workout routine using dumbbell exercises? Add muscle to your biceps, triceps, shoulders and back with this plan.
In today’s modern society with time being a constant issue, many people claim that they don’t have enough time to go to the gym.
I personally believe that if a person is committed enough towards working out and staying fit, he or she can make time in their busy scheduling to train with dumbbells, possibly sacrificing a lunch hour or time away from their favorite television show to go and work out.
We’re also a big fan of the benefits of isometric exercise, which can often be done anywhere, with no equipment.

Working Out at Home Saves Time
However, for anyone who would like to work out at home because they absolutely feel that they cannot make it to the gym, here are some great routines that require few items.
Here are my Recommended Dumbbell Exercises at Home:
- The first thing you should buy is a two dumbbells.
- Buy the dumbbell bar that has a screw on holder so that you can add or take away weights as you see fit.
- In addition, buy several weight plates, or purchase the complete set from Amazon as linked to above. Place the weights of the dumbbells on a carpeted floor so that you don’t scratch a hardwood floor.
Bicep Curl.
The bicep curl has a person sitting on a chair or stool and working out their bicep using the dumbbell. The bicep curl can be done sitting or if you chose, you can curl the dumbbell with each arm which works out both arm biceps at the same time.
Shoulder Press.
The shoulder press involves a person siting down on a chair. Lift the two dumbbell above your shoulders and lift your arms with the weights toward the ceiling. When both weights are at their highest point, Bring your arms closer together so that the weights at their highest point will touch. Once this happens, bring the weights slowly down and repeat for your desired amount of repetitions.
Shoulder and Back Curl Press.
The shoulder curl press exercise involves putting one of your legs on a raised elevation, preferably a chair or stool will do just fine. Start with the weight slightly dangling from the floor. Then use your shoulder and back to lift the weight straight up without twisting your arm. Repeat for desired repetitions.
Triceps Extensions.
To work out your triceps, we’ll do triceps extensions. Sit on a flat surface and hold a dumbbell in each hand. Put both arms straight outward and slowly lift each arm with each of the dumbbells higher toward the ceiling until you cannot lift the any higher. Make sure you keep your arms straight outward. Then bring the weights slowly down. You can also alternate this exercise by standing up and holding the weights out to your sides and slowly brings the weights up and down to work out your triceps.
Farmers Walk for Legs.
The farmers walk exercise involves you holding the dumbbell at your sides with each arm. Then bend your knee all the way forward, making a 90 degree angle with the floor. Then step forward with the other leg and make the 90 degree angle. This will work out will add muscle mass to your legs.
These exercises are simple and easy to do and can save you the time you need during the day.
