Full Body Dumbbell Workout: The Best There Is?

By: Eddie Lomax Home |


I'm not surprised people are confused. Walk into any gym today and you'll be overwhelmed by the shiny machines and fancy equipment. It is easy to start believing you need all this equipment to meet your fitness, fat loss and physique building goals. But in my opinion, a full body dumbbell workout can do everything those expensive machines do, better!

Just so we're on the same page, let me start by saying you don't need a gym full of fancy equipment to get fit, burn fat and build the type of body that turns heads. You don't even need to join a gym at all. A full body dumbbell workout, dedication and consistency are all you need.

First of all, did you know you can get an excellent full body workout using only dumbbells?

Yes, that's right. You can use dumbbells for more than curls and flies! I know it sounds crazy, but if I hand someone a dumbbell, the first thing they do is try to curl it. I hand it to them, and without thinking, the curling motion begins. But these limited motion exercises using small muscle groups are not the only reason to use dumbbells. As a matter of fact, if you are only using dumbbells for a limited amount of exercises, you're missing out on their true potential.

When I say, "full body dumbbell workout", here is what I mean:

-Dumbbells are the only piece of equipment used.
-Upper body, core and lower body are all worked.
-The heart and lungs are also involved

With dumbbells, you can perform workouts that involve all the big, major muscle groups AND the cardiorespiratory system. You can train both muscles and the heart and lungs at the same time. So when I say "full body" I mean full body.

Compare this to "bodybuilding" style workouts that split the body into small muscles and focuses on training each muscle separately. And forget about getting a heart and lung workout. You'll have to do that separately!

The truth is, there are many different types of dumbbell exercises. There are grinding strength exercises, explosive power exercises and rhythmic exercises requiring both incredible strength and endurance. Each type of exercise can be arranged into a full body dumbbell workout that simultaneously improves fitness, burns fat and builds strong muscles.

The secret to reaching your goals is to get the most out of your training equipment and training time. So, don't overlook the power of full body dumbbell workouts. If you have access to a set of dumbbells, you have everything you need to get a great workout. And you don't even need to drive to the gym!
