If you’re tight on time, it can be hard to make it to the gym regularly. Fortunately, you don’t need a lot of equipment or large machines to still hit your fitness goals. In fact, you can build muscle, raise your heart rate, and boost your metabolism with a single set of dumbbells.

Whether you have fixed-weight or a pair of the best adjustable dumbbells at home, these versatile weights are ideal whether you’re into isolation exercises like biceps curls or multi-muscle compound moves like squats. But if you’re not sure where to begin, this 25-minute session is a great place to start.
