    I do a lot of the same exercises at home that I do at the gym, I use a swiss ball in place of a bench. These exercises include squats, lunges, bench press, overhead extensions and so on. Maybe check YouTube for some inspiration?

    I've been trying to figure out what to suggest for somebody with the equipment you have. Are the dumbbells adjustable weight dumbbells?

    if all you have is 2 35# dumbbells, you can get a set of resistance bands to use with them to add a new dimension and some progression. there are tons of ways to use them with dumbbells

    You can do so much! I have interchangeable dumbbells and love having the option to use them at home when the gym is packed.

    Legs - goblet squats, sumo squats, bridges, lunges and side lunges
    Arms - hammer curls, bi curls, tricep lift, shoulder press, military press, Arnold press and kickbacks (probably the most variety with arms/chest)
    Back - rows
    Core - double crunch, oblique planks, planks and toe touches
