though understanding reception effective? The answer is yes! The key though to
an efficient home exercise program is to incorporate exercises that employ
three key areas: cardio, strength, and adaptability. Even if you don't have a

your bodyweight. Keeping a group of dumbbells around the house can give your
in-home workout some teeth and obtain your muscles pumped. Plus, they don't
take up a lot of space and help in stabilizing and developing muscles that are
important to strength, balance, and posture. Some strength training exercises
you can do at home using just your bodyweight and dumbbells include:
Chest:
Push-ups are great for
working the pecs. Vary the spread of your hands to figure different parts of
the chest. For even more punch, place your feet on a chair or your bed and try
some decline push-ups. Do some chest presses with dumbbells lying on the floor
and dumbbell flies (flat or incline if you happen to have an adjustable bench
at home) to round things out.
Shoulders:
Shoulders are a
little tougher to work out using just your body weight so you're better off
using dumbbells. These are all great exercises that are easy to do in the
house: seated press, side raises, front raises, bent-over reverse flies, and
shoulder shrugs; upright row.

Arms:
There are plenty of
effective exercises you can do at home to pump up your arms using just a chair
and a set of dumbbells. Biceps: Just like at the gym you can do standing or
seated bicep curls, concentrated curls, standing or seated alternating curls,
and hammer curls. Triceps: Doing push-ups with your hands close together is an
excellent way to beef up your triceps. Or, sitting on a chair, do some one-arm
behind-the-neck extensions with a dumbbell. Using a chair you can also do
bent-over kickbacks and lying flat on the floor you can do a couple of
variations of triceps extensions using a dumbbell.
Back:
For your back, try dumbbell rows, dumbbell dead-lifts and if
you've got a spot where you can do pull-ups, holding a dumbbell between your
ankles will really give you an extra punch.
Legs:
There are plenty of exercises you can do in the home to work your
legs but add dumbbells and they'll be even more effective. Here are a few
examples: squats with dumbbells, lunges with dumbbells and standing calf raise
(holding a dumbbell in one hand).
Adding dumbbells to your out-of-gym or at-home cardio routine can assist
you make the foremost of some time. Carry a group of dumbbells with you once
you walk, alternating between curls and just carrying them at your side. If you
do this though, be careful not to swing your arms around too much, you can
injure yourself easily. If you've access to a group of stairs, walk up and down

time.
If you don't want to skip the gym in favor of an at-home workout but do

spend too much time sitting on our rumps, the body's fat-burning mechanisms
slow to a near halt. No surprises there but the study also found that moving
around whenever possible can jumpstart the fat burning process again. So rather
than just lying around on the sofa for hours at a stretch, get up, devour the
dumbbells and obtain your ass moving-even if it's only ten minutes at a time.
You'll burn some extra calories and you'll do your body good.
