Making Your Home Dumbbell Workout Work For You
If there’s not enough time in the day to workout at the local gym or enough money to burn on an entire home gym, you might want to consider trying a home dumbbell workout. If it’s done right, a dumbbell workout can be an easy and inexpensive option to achieve the goals you have for your body without a lot of time or maintenance.
So, how can you design a home dumbbell workout routine that’s right for you? Consider the following:
For starters, you’re going to want to figure out what you want the end result of your dumbbell workout to be. Do you want huge, muscular arms or do you simply want to tighten up some flab?
On the other hand, make sure you consider, or consider asking for guidance from a professional trainer, if your body can achieve what you’re about to ask of it. A good number of women are able to achieve the same results as a man while some men can’t do reps with a dumbbell that weighs more than ten pounds.
Once you’ve decided how and what you’re going to achieve, you can begin the process of integrating a dumbbell workout to your exercise regime. As you would when starting any other new exercise routine, in order to reduce your risk of injury and get maximum results, it’s best that you learn how to properly use the equipment first. You can ask a trainer to show you, go out and buy a how-to DVD or even download an instructional video podcast. Above all else, make sure you put in the time necessary to learn how to do the exercises properly before you integrate new exercises into your routine. It’s important that you talk to your doctor to be certain you’re in the clear.
Lastly, to truly begin an effective long-term workout regimen that you can stick to, don’t take on everything at once. Quality dumbbell workout programs are usually spread out over a period of at least 90 days and move up from beginner level exercises to intermediate to advanced and then to expert. To begin with, you should only be doing one set of every exercise and only 10-15 repetitions of each one. It won’t take long before, you’ll be doing 8 sets of every exercise with ease.
