I've been considering incorporating dumbbells into my workouts for a while now but I have no idea where to start with them! Was wondering if anyone could give ideas/workouts to try out for a beginner?

Thank you!

This is the one I'm doing right now with some slight modifications.

This looks amazing! I'll definitely be trying this in the gym soon!

Yeah, it hits pretty much everything you could want to hit. There are certain things I do every workout though because I want to hit them hard more than once a week, like tricep rows, stiff leg deadlifts and side bends. The rows because my arms got really big when I gained weight so I don't want super jiggly flabby arms when I slim down so I make sure to hit those triceps hard. And the deadlifts, sidebends and my modified side bends hit my obliques and the muscles at the base of my back/just above my butt which pulls it in tight and helps to form that high rounded booty shelf on top.

I love this workout because it gives you a strong base to follow, but it is also really easy to modify without feeling like you're going "off plan".
