This month we are exploring dumbbells and the great workouts they bring. They are fantastic to work with because once you master the technique and movement of the exercise; you can add more versatility in your workout. We will start basic and work our way up to more advanced workouts throughout the month. You can complete 2 to 3 rounds of the exercises listed. Perform 10-12 reps of each exercise paying close attention to correct form. Make sure to choose a weight that is appropriate for you, but also challenging during the last few reps of each exercise. If you find the reps were too easy, bump up the weight.
