Dumbbell Arm Workout For Women
Build Lean Muscle With This 20-Minute, 5-Move Dumbbell Arm Workout
If you're looking to get stronger arms at home, all you need is a pair of dumbbells for this arm workout — you'll be sore tomorrow. Created by ACE health coach and NASM-certified personal trainer Brittany Noelle, this workout will help build muscle in your upper body, and increasing muscle mass will help you burn fat. As a bonus, a couple of these moves will also target your legs and butt, so they don't feel left out! Each round takes between five and six minutes to complete, so the warmup and cooldown plus three rounds will take you about 20 minutes.
