A PT confirms: these double-duty dumbbell workouts are the best for working both your arms and shoulders

In the mood to workout but not sure which sweat session to opt for? Trust me on this one: you can't go wrong with a dumbbell arm workout.

These sessions target the small muscles on the front and back of our arms, meaning they're slightly lower intensity than compound exercises that require big energy - making them great for anyone who needs some lowkey movement.
