We promise: your arms will be burning by the end!
5-Minute Dumbbell Arm Workout
Directions: You'll need a light pair of dumbbells for this workout, so choose a weight depending on your strength (between two and 15 pounds is a good place to start). Perform each move ahead for 60 seconds without rest. For even more of an arm burn, repeat this workout a total of three times.
If you have shoulder issues or tightness, it's always a good idea to warm up your upper body before going into a workout. Do some arm circles, a few Down Dog to Tuck-Toe Up Dogs, and some band pull aparts.
The Exercises:
Overhead shoulder press
Upright row
Wide bicep curl
Bent-over reverse fly
Triceps kickback
