You had a little chat with a couple of good friends and found out that their common secret to impressive muscle mass in the perfect body parts is to do various exercises with dumbbells. So now, you also plan to get into the dumbbell lifting business. But you still don’t know what you need and what you really want to achieve when you start doing these exercise routines. If this is exactly the case for you right now, don’t worry, because working out with dumbbells isn’t really as difficult as many bodybuilders make it out to be. If you’re completely convinced to start dumbbell workouts and you’re 100 percent sure you won’t back down, here are two simple steps you should take:
1) Find a good place in your schedule for a regular exercise routine. It may be a fact that you are a very busy person; but a good 15-minute free time is plenty, especially since you’re just starting out. As much as possible, keep your regular hours. In other words, if you plan to do your dumbbell exercises at 9 am every day, do your best to stick to that. This is a good way to program your body to do these activities at a specific time of day. Also, when you already have a fixed schedule, do not forget to leave a few days to rest. Excessive exercise could lead to fatigue or even more complications.
2) Determine your exercises of choice, relative to your specific desired body image. Dumbbell exercises actually vary depending on the different muscle groups they target. Knowing exactly which part of your body you want to improve makes it easier and faster to choose the type of dumbbell workouts you’d like to do. If you plan to improve your chest, some examples of exercises you could do are Dumbbell Chest Press, DB Chest Fly, DB Floor Press, and DB Overhead press. If you want to get bigger biceps then DB Biceps Curls is for you. Furthermore, knowing the exercises of your choice will also help you figure out which dumbbell set is the perfect fit for you. As some exercises would need heavier weights while others require lighter weights.
Now that you know the outline of your plan, it’s time to put it into action. Buy the best pair of dumbbell weights that you know will suit your chosen exercises. You also need to consider your body’s condition for this, because opting for a heavy set of dumbbells could discourage your muscles, rather than build them. It is always better to exercise in the morning and also make sure that you incorporate a healthy diet plan and active and productive lifestyle outside of your workouts. So, isn’t it so easy to start doing various exercises with dumbbells?
