5-Day Dumbbell Workout to Tone and Strengthen Your Arms | Fit Club AMersham

Looking to tone and strengthen your arms? This 5-day dumbbell workout designed by your fitness instructor at Fit Club Amersham is perfect for you! The exercises in this routine are designed to target all of the muscles in your arms, so you can see results fast. All you need is a set of dumbbells and about 30 minutes per day to complete this workout. Let’s get started!

Day One

Warm up with some light cardio and then do three sets of ten to twelve reps of the following exercises:

 

  • Seated dumbbell press
  • Standing bent-over row
  • Lying triceps extensions
  • Hammer curls

 

Day TWO

Repeat the same workout as day one, but increase the weight for each exercise by five to ten pounds.  For example, if you were using 20-pound dumbbells on day one, use 25-pound dumbbells on day two. If you don’t have access to heavier weights, simply perform more reps instead. The goal is to challenge your muscles so they continue to grow stronger.

 

Day THREE

Take a rest day or do some light cardio. This will help your muscles recover from the previous two days of workouts and prepare them for the next two days.

 

Day FOUR

Repeat the same workout as day two, but increase the weight for each exercise by five to ten pounds. 

Day FIVE

Do a circuit training workout including exercises such as squats, lunges, pushups, and crunches. This full-body routine will help you burn fat and build muscle all over. Be sure to challenge yourself with heavier weights or more reps than you did on day four.

There you have it! A simple yet effective 5-day dumbbell workout to tone and strengthen your arms. Remember to focus on form first and foremost, and don’t be afraid
