Which Kind of Dumbbells Are Best?
When choosing dumbbells, it's important to consider the material and weight range. Adjustable dumbbells are a great option as they allow you to change the weight easily. Fixed-weight dumbbells are also good if you have the space to store multiple pairs.
Cardio
Incorporating cardio into your routine is a great way to burn extra calories and improve cardiovascular health. You can add cardio sessions on your non-lifting days or after your weight training.
Examples of cardio exercises include running, cycling, swimming, or high-intensity interval training (HIIT). Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of high-intensity cardio per week.

Follow this 3-day dumbbell-only workout program to gain lean muscle and tone your body. Make sure to pair your workouts with a balanced diet and adequate rest to achieve the best results. Consistency is key, so stick with the program and you'll see progress in no time!
