Dumbbells are equally as beneficial as anything else. They can go up to a substantial amount of weight to overload the muscles, and they are underrated when it comes to developing the core muscle groups.
Best Dumbbell Exercises
Stationary Dumbbell Lunge
Start with both legs hip-width apart, toes forward, keeping your back straight, and a dumbbell in each hand. Palms should be facing your sides. Take a big lunge forward, focusing on keeping your upper body straight.

Lateral Raise
Start with feet just short of shoulder-width apart, holding both dumbbells at your sides, palms to face one another.

Dumbbell Shoulder Press
Start with palms facing forward and hold a dumbbell above each shoulder at chin height. That is the start position.
3
Tricep Extensions
Stand up straight or sit on a bench. Hold a single dumbbell in both hands. Ensure feet are shoulder-width apart and engage your core.

Dumbbell Row
Start with your right hand and right knee on a bench or a flat surface that is knee-height. Ensure your left foot is out wide to the side, and a dumbbell in your left hand, hanging.
