There are several reasons why dumbbell exercises are so beneficial. Not only do they provide more variety than other gym tools, but they also help eliminate fat, develop muscle mass, boost cardio, and build an overall strength base.

If you're a beginner and wish to develop strength, dumbbell training should be a part of your workout routine. To help you get started, we’ve compiled a list of some of the basic and beginner-level dumbbell exercises you must include in your fitness schedule.

Each of the exercises mentioned below are easy, but it's important to perform them correctly to avoid pain or any type of discomfort. Aim to perform three sets of ten reps initially, and as you start to build strength, increase your reps accordingly. Let's get started with the five exercises:

The bench press is one of the best beginner-level dumbbell exercises that works the muscles around the chest and shoulders and helps build massive strength.

Lateral raises are among some of the best dumbbell exercises that target the outer head of the deltoid muscles. This exercise is suitable for beginners, as it doesn’t require a lot of core strength.

Dumbbell lunges are a great exercise to build strength and add resistance to your legs. This exercise helps develop muscles and also burns a lot of calories.

Deadlifts are, hands-down, one of the most effective dumbbell exercises to build overall strength and train the backside of the body, particularly the hamstrings and glutes.

Conventional deadlifts are done with a barbell, but as a beginner, you can use dumbbells and get the same results.

Bent-over rows are great dumbbell exercises that target the shoulders, biceps, forearms, hamstrings, glutes and spinal erectors. This exercise builds massive strength and also helps you get that V-shaped back.

The aforementioned dumbbell exercises are simple yet very effective for strengthening the muscles.

When performing these exercises, though, make sure about your form and posture, and do not overtrain your muscles. As a beginner, it's also important to consult a doctor to ensure you're healthy enough to incorporate strength training into your fitness routine
