Upper Body Workouts At Home

Recently Suite101 has reported on the fitness trend of designing your own workout for little or no money. Beginning with the upper body, here is a list of specific exercises you might include in your routine. Recommended equipment includes a couple of pairs of lightweight dumbbells and a resistance band with handles at each end, all of which you can pick up for under $30 at a sporting-goods store like Dick’s or Sports Authority. For video demonstrations of any unfamiliar exercises, refer to the web: both YouTube and PhysicalFitNet have extensive free video libraries.

Dumbbell Exercises for Upper-Body Strength

Beginners may want to start with a 5-pound and a 7-pound set, while the more advanced might choose weights 10 pounds and up. Use your heavier dumbbells for large-muscle-group exercises like rows or chest presses, and your lighter weights for shoulder raises, biceps curls, and triceps extensions. Aim for 2—3 sets of 12—20 repetitions.
