Are you tired of the same old dumbbell exercises? Looking to change up your routine a little? If so, I have exactly what you need: 25 dumbbell exercises you’ve probably never seen before. And if they’re new to you, that means they’ll be new to your muscles.

Variation is crucial for an effective training program. Variation allows you to train multiple muscle groups and produce different actions to which your body needs to adapt. Without a challenge, your muscles will stay the same. Having a structured plan is very important for development, but every once in a while, you need to put your body through a different stimulus to elicit new results. Plus, if you are like me, doing the same thing over and over is not your cup of tea. You need to keep your mind engaged and excited to train effectively.
