Some people find the gym motivational, but you don’t have to take out an expensive monthly membership to build muscle and strengthen your core (the muscles that connect your upper and lower body). All you really need is your body weight and a set of dumbbells to get started.
If you’re hoping to train at home regularly, we recommend picking up a set of the best adjustable dumbbells, as you can quickly change the load between moves and gradually increase the weight as you get stronger, following the progressive overload training technique.
