Dumbbell Workout Suggestions?

RibStabsHeart

Hey everyone, newbie here!

I was wondering who all has had good results from working out at home with a set of dumbbells. I can't afford to join a gym at the moment, and already have a set of modifiable dumb bells that can go up to 50lbs or so, so I figured this would be a good way to help create some muscle. I walk for about 30 minutes a day (so I'm getting some cardio in there), but I'd like to step things up and ensure I keep burning once I get home.

Does anyone have any reccomendations for routines, or youtube videos/DVDs I can find on the subject? My biggest concern is staying safe while I work out (as I already have crappy wrists and elbows) and not tweaking anything, so any suggestions you might have would be great!

Thanks!

Kelly Coffey Meyer DVDs are great. There is a modifier throughout so you can pick what applies to you.

This one is all about dumbbells (video clip)

Fitnessblender.com has a bunch of free workout vids and includes some dumb bell ones as well.

Wrist wraps might be helpful to you as well, if you are already working with weak wrists.

Awesome website. Do you have a bench? 20-30lb dumbbell rows are pretty sweet (well for me - to some that is light).

Go to fitness blender and check out their videos.

Are you on Pinterest? Just search dumbbell workouts, you'll find a plethora of good ones. You can definitely get into shape just using dumbbells.
