Arm Dumbell Exercises

Because they are free weights, the number of dumbell arm workouts you can do is much greater than using an exercise machine or even a barbell. Here are some of the basic arm exercises that are essential in any workout regiment:

Biceps

Dumbell Curl

This exercise can be performed seated or standing, and can be done in an alternating fashion or curling with both arms at the same time. There are generally three ways to curl the dumbbells:

1) Start with your palms facing together, and gradually rotating your hands so your thumbs point towards the outside during the curl.
2) Hammer curl-your palms will be facing each other while curling the dumbbells
3) The starting position of your hands will be fully supinated (thumbs will be pointed towards the outside of your body)
