All you need is five moves and two dumbbells to build a stronger upper body

You might think you need an extended gym session with loads of machines and weights to strengthen your upper body. Fortunately, that's not the case, as this four-move workout builds arm, shoulder, chest and back muscle with just a set of dumbbells. 

Dumbbells are a flexible option for at-home training, especially if you opt for a set of the best adjustable dumbbells. These combine several weights in one, saving you space and allowing you to gradually increase the load as you get stronger.
