No Struggle

Working out with dumbbells without putting too much effort to lift them may be good for your self-esteem, but it’s not so great for your fitness goals. If you’re working out with the right intensity, you should be struggling to complete the lift after several reps.

Workout Type

You can’t use the same dumbbells for every workout and experience the same results. Workouts that are intense on their own or require a lot of movement usually shouldn’t be done with a heavy set of dumbbells.

Incorrect Form

The dumbbells that you’re working out with shouldn’t be so heavy that you end up compromising your form. If you notice your posture is getting worse, or if you’re struggling with soreness and injuries you haven’t noticed before, the dumbbells you’re using may have something to do with these issues.

For this exercise all you need is a pair of weights. There are several variations to this exercise, you can put the weight onto your shoulders, above your head, or do it the most common way; by gripping them. Put your chest in front, your spine straight, and keep your head upright. This exercise is great for those who sit a lot; for office workers, programmers, painters, anyone with a problematic back and posture.

Just grip your weights, set a stopwatch for five minutes, and start walking. Do as many leaps as you can. With time you will see the progress; heavier weights and longer and longer leaps. It’s important not to use tape for your hands, only then you will be able to feel the real pressure of the weights.
