Looking for some great upper body exercises to workout with? These 3 dumbbell exercises are great!

All three of the exercises in this video are low impact, so they're home and apartment friendly. You don't need a heavy set of weights either, I'm using 10 pound dumbbells and they're perfect. You can use any weights you feel comfortable with, from 2-15 pounds or higher depending on your strength.

We're going to be focusing on our shoulders and arms for these exercises, so grab your dumbbells and follow along with me after the intro (0:00) :)

1 | Arnold Press (0:37)

This shoulder focused exercise is really broad in how many muscles you'll be targeting. Each of your primary shoulder muscles will be trained, with all the smaller stabilizers as well throughout the duration of the press.

Start in a standing position with feet shoulder width apart. You may also find if comfortable to place on foot to the rear so you can press upwards at an angle, rather than straight above your head. Bring the dumbbells to your chest with palms facing your body. Begin by pressing the dumbbells upwards overhead, while rotating your hands to the front.

You'll also start feeling this in your triceps, so for the next exercise we'll give them a break.

2 | Biceps Curl (2:40)

Start in a standing position with feet shoulder width apart. Holding each of the dumbbells down towards your side, curl them up to your chest height with both hands.

Depending on the weight, you can do each hand individually as well. Either way, try to make sure you keep your elbows from swinging forward so you really feel it in your biceps!

3 | Overhead Triceps Press (4:06)

Let's go back to our Triceps and train those for our last exercise. Start in a standing position with feet staggered. I suggest the staggered stance as the weight is behind your head, so the stance will assist with upper body posture to ensure you aren't compressing down.

You'll want to grip one of your dumbbells with an open hand grip using both hands as you bring it above your head. I prefer to keep my hands open & palms up so that as I press the dumbbell, it is easier on my wrists. This also allows me to get a full extension
