Of all the home gym equipment that I own, I consider my dumbbells to be the most valuable.
I love their versatility – shoulders, arms, core, legs, etc. can all be worked with this simple equipment.
Below you'll find my top 5 favorite dumbbell exercises to carve, sculpt, and ultimately Tone and Tighten the lower extremities.
Because you can't spell legendary without leg day.
The Workout
GOBLET SQUATS
Grab a kettlebell or dumbbell and hold it out in front with both hands at chest level, palms facing up.
Stand in a wide stance with your legs a little wider than your shoulders to hit the quads and adductors.
Squat down like you are sitting- bend at the hips and knees to lower down. Keep your knees above your toes.
Lower until your thighs are parallel with the floor.
Straighten and stand up.
20 reps and on to side lunges
SIDE LUNGES
Start by standing straight, hold the weights at your side or up at shoulder-level.
Take a large step and lunge over to one side. Be sure that your knee doesn't go past your toe. Keep your other leg straight.
Raise back up to standing and switch sides.
10 reps on each side and on to calf raises
CALF RAISES
Stand on the ground or with your heels hanging off the edge of a stair or step.
Raise and lower your heels to feel the burn in your calves.
Hold your dumbbells while doing these calf raises to add some much-needed resistance.
20 reps and on to thrusters
THRUSTERS
Bend your elbows and hold your dumbbells at shoulder level, palms facing forward.
Go into a deep squat, keeping your knees above your toes and bringing your thighs parallel to the floor.
As you come to upright standing, press the weights up and over your head.
20 reps and then move on to deadlifts
SINGLE LEG DEADLIFTS
Stand on your left foot with the weight in your right hand.
Keep your back straight and bend forward as you take your right leg straight back behind you.
Use the muscles in your butt and hamstrings to pull yourself back to upright.
10 reps on each leg and back to goblet squats
Feeling the burn? Good! All you've got to do is repeat this sequence three times.
