Build upper body mass with a pair of dumbbells and this five-move kneeling workout

If it’s muscle and strength you’re looking to develop in your upper body then using free weights, like a pair of dumbbells, is one of the most effective ways to do this. But if you’re a little pressed for time and don’t have hours for a sesh, then this 25 minute dumbbell workout will do nicely. Grab yourself an exercise mat though, as all the movements are performed kneeling

If you’re wondering if this workout is done kneeling for those days you’re feeling a little ‘tired’, you’re wrong. According to BarBend: “Lifting from your knees trains muscles that are often under used while lifting from standing or sitting: when your legs are out of the equation, you require more hip mobility, core stability, and emphasis from the working muscles.” So, this workout is also great for your core too!
