DUMBBELLS ARE A GREAT TOOL TO USE<br />

WHEN PERFORMING RESISTANCE TRAINING.<br />

THEY COME IN ALL SIZES, ALLOWING PEOPLE<br />

OF ALL FITNESS AND STRENGTH LEVELS TO<br />

PERFORM DIFFERENT EXERCISES. THEY ARE<br />

ALSO REALLY VERSATILE AND ALLOW YOU TO<br />

PERFORM THE STANDARD CURLS, PRESSES,<br />

ROWS, AND LUNGES THAT ARE COMMONLY<br />

SEEN IN GYMS AROUND THE COUNTRY. THE<br />

FOLLOWING 5 EXERCISES WILL INCREASE<br />

YOUR DUMBBELL REPERTOIRE.<br />

SQUAT<br />

1<br />

Grab a dumbbell and hold<br />

it chest height. The hands<br />

should be placed under the<br />

weighted portion of one side<br />

of the dumbbell, allowing the<br />

handle and the other weighted<br />

portion to hang between the<br />

arms. Keeping the chest up<br />

and the midsection tight, sit down and back until<br />

the hips lower below the knees. Immediately stand<br />

up.<br />

The goblet squat is a great exercise used to learn a<br />

proper squat pattern and develop strength in the<br />

quads, hamstrings, glutes, low back, abdominals,<br />

and upper back to allow a person to progress to<br />

either a back squat or front squat with a barbell.<br />

For the advanced exerciser, the goblet squat may be<br />

used to perform intervals to provide a challenging<br />

conditioning workout.<br />
