Lower body workout with dumbbells

ginamarina0622

Hi,

I know dumbbells are effective tools for upper body exercises and seem to give me good results. But does anyone use dumbbells for your lower body workout? Do you get good results and what exercises do you do?

Hi! I use them to do lunges & squats. I definately feel a difference when I use them vs no weights.

Go to youtube.com and do a search on "dumbell workout routines". You will find several that include lower body. Depending on how much weight you have (can you add weight to the dumbells or are they fixed weight?) you may eventually need to expand your collection as you get stronger. I would consider moves like lunges, squats, dead lifts and you could even do a variation of jerk and clean. All these will work lower body and core. Good luck!

Squats and lunges & stiff leg deadlifts is all you need with your dumb bells for lower body

Deadlifts, Squats, Lunges, Lunges with one foot on a bench for greater range, really attacks the hamstrings.

narow and wide stance squats, sumo squats, romanian deadlifts, walking lunges and step ups are all great for women to build legs and glutes.
