Bend Over Dumbbell Rows
Doing the bend over dumbbell rows will activate biceps and latissimus dorsi. Bend forward and keep your back straight then pull the dumbbells until they touch your ribcage before extending your arms.
If you have a set of dumbbells, use a heavier pair for this exercise.
Alternating Dumbbell Lunges
Many of us can agree that alternating lunges are excellent exercise. Well, holding dumbbells while performing this exercise makes it more effective because it increases resistance.
Keep your torso upright and make wide strides in each rep.
Dumbbell Reverse Choppers
This astounding exercise will build your arm, shoulders, and oblique muscles. Keep your hands and back straight throughout.
Lunge Dumbbell Triceps Kickbacks
There are many ways to perform triceps kickbacks. The lunge variation is superior it cause it engages your leg muscles as you build your triceps.
Lunge forward then bend your torso forward while keeping your back straight. Keep your arms aligned with your torso and make sure you don’t move your upper arm – simply bend your elbow. Squeeze your triceps every time you straighten your arms.
Dumbbell Reverse Lunges

Rotating your torso helps activate your oblique muscles. Remember to maintain proper form while squatting.

Punching while holding a pair of light dumbbells can be extremely rewarding. Tighten your ab and oblique muscles as you punch.
Note that using heavy dumbbells can increase the risk of injuries. It’s also important to avoid throwing the punches with too much force.
Standing Dumbbell Curls
You probably know that dumbbell curls target your biceps. Make sure you maintain a full range of motion by bending your elbow until your forearm touches your biceps and then extending the arm until it’s almost straight.
As I mentioned earlier, squeezing your biceps when you bend your elbows accelerates muscle growth.
