You only need 6 moves and a set of dumbbells to build full-body muscle — here’s how

Multi-muscle compound exercises are an efficient way to train, especially if you’re tight on time. These moves help build muscle all over your body and utilize your core, and you don’t need a lot of equipment to get started — all you need is a bit of space and a set of dumbbells.

If you’re training at the gym, choose a weight that’ll challenge your muscles but won’t affect your form. But for home workouts, it’s worth investing in a set of the best adjustable dumbbells, so you can switch loads between moves and gradually increase the weight as you get stronger.
