These 7 Double-Duty Dumbbell Exercises Work Your Arms and Back

Note: The picture shows this move being done with a resistance band, but you can easily swap it out for dumbbells instead.

• Stand with your feet hip-width apart and a dumbbell in each hand resting by your sides. Your palms face forward.
• Bend your elbows and engage your biceps to curl the dumbbells up to your shoulders, keeping your palms facing forward. Only the lower portion of your arm should move, and the upper arm should stay stationary, close to your side.
• Slowly lower the weights back to starting position. That's one rep.
