Between long classes and a busy social life, you might be short on time to squeeze in some workouts. Fortunately, if you get your hands on some dumbbells, you can perform an array of exercises quickly and effectively. Here are some free weight exercises you can easily do in your college dorm.
Single Arm Row
This workout helps to build your back strength and tone your biceps. Start with your right knee and right palm on a chair or bench and step out with your left foot with your left arm outstretched and holding a dumbbell. Pull the dumbbell up while keeping your body stationary before lowering it back down.
Dumbbell Chest Press
Lie on a bench or your bed while facing up. Hold your dumbbells directly over your head with your elbows extended. Bend your elbows and lower the dumbbells to the sides before pushing back up. This exercise strengthens your chest and triceps.
Seated Shoulder Press
Sit on a chair and hold the dumbbells straight over your head. Slowly bend your elbows and lower the weights until your elbows are in line with your shoulders. Push back up to starting position for a challenging shoulder and lower back workout.
