Forget the gym — this 6-move dumbbell workout builds upper body muscle and enhances posture

A woman with a defined core is lifting two light dumbbells.

While the modern day gym is kitted out with various different machines and pieces of equipment to train the upper body muscles with, you can get some serious results from simply working with a set of dumbbells and a good set of exercises. We've got just the routine to prove this to you.

For this type of workout, we like using a pair of the best adjustable dumbbells and changing the weight as needed as you progress through the moves. But if you're using fixed weights, just be sure to choose a load that'll challenge you but won't affect your form.
