  • Goblet Squat. One of the most effective exercises to build lower body strength. It is a lower-body exercise in which you hold a dumbbell or kettlebell with both hands in front of your chest. Then, you squat while holding the dumbbell. Your elbows should come between your knees.


  • Thruster Squats. This is a combination of a front squat and an overhead press. The squat thrust can build muscle in your triceps and pecs while also activating lower body muscles like the hamstrings, quads, and glutes. Squat thrusts can improve cardiovascular health.


  • Plank Rows. is an exercise that challenges your core, increases stability throughout your spine, and targets the muscles of the middle and upper back, shoulders and arms. It is performed by doing a row with a set of dumbbells from the plank pose.


  • Overhead Tricep Extensions. Overhead tricep extensions focus specifically on the long head of the triceps. It activates your core, glutes, and lower back muscles as stabilizers during the movement.


  • Hammer Curls. A hammer curl is a variation of the biceps curl and targets muscles in the upper and lower arm. Aside from dumbbells, you can also perform it with cables or bands.


  • Dumbbell Row. The single-arm dumbbell row is one of the simplest exercises to perform. You will just kneel on a bench and row your arm to your side and it only requires just a dumbbell to load the movement.
