Add more muscle to your upper body with this six-move beginner dumbbell workout

Man doing beginner dumbbell workout: dumbbell shoulder press.

So, you want to build out your arms a little more, get your shoulders popping and your chest pumped? This upper body workout can help you. With these six simple exercises you’ll target all the major muscles in your upper body, from your pecs, to your biceps, triceps, shoulders and back. All you’re going to need is a pair of medium-size dumbbells and your gym water bottle, as it’s going to be thirsty work.

A muscular upper body is often seen as the pinnacle of strength and, we’re not denying, round shoulders, sculpted arms and a big chest do look good. But, there’s more to building muscle than just asthetics; it improves our joint health, bone density and can even help manage our blood sugar levels. Not to mention it'll make everyday tasks easier, from carrying your shopping to pushing the lawn mower.
