5 Exercises For Stronger Arms and Shoulders

"Curls can be done with dumbbells, a barbell, or resistance bands, even bodyweight, making them super versatile. Given the fairly simple movement pattern it is perfect for beginners," Rolle tells PS. You're targeting primarily your biceps with this move but don't fear: the four following moves recruit your other arm and shoulder muscles.

• Start standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, and a dumbbell in each hand.
• With your palms facing away from you, bend your elbows to bring the dumbbells up to your shoulders.
• Straighten your arms to return to the starting position.
• Repeat for 10 reps.
