It is really amazing how many people have no clue about using adjustable dumbbell swings to get in shape, they really can be a godsend when it comes to fat buring cardio which can be easily applied at home. Now before you read this post tehre is a few things which we must clarify.
Firstly, even if you really like to run, swim and do other forms or cardio, dumbbell swings can still be a great option for you, because there is nothing better than mixing up the variety of exercises you do. For example if you run everyday you may still burn calories, but as your body adjusts more and more to running it will have less and less of an effect on you. That is why you should try to mix things up.
Secondly, if you absolutely hate carido and never run or swim or cycle, then this may just be the thing you have been looking for. I used to have a big problem with doing cardio (although I have changed since) because i thought it was just too boring, I would often give up after only a few mintues and even when i did eventually do a proper run or a swim, i could never consitently keep it up. Then i got a set of adjustable dumbbells and I immediately started using dumbbell swings to get in shape.
Dumbbell swings are great because they are intense, burn fat very efficiently, will get you in incredible shape fast and most importantly they can be done very quickly. For a good adjustable dumbbells swing workout you only need about 15 minutes and this will equal or even surpass the time needed to do a good 40 minute run or hour swim.
Using dumbbell swings to get in shape is based on the movement of kettlebell swings, kettlebells are most suited to this partcilular exercise, but if you dont have them then adjustable dumbbells will do fine.
Here is what you do:
1. Place the dumbbell on the ground, stand over it legs at shoulder width with your feet facing forward.
2.Your legs should be slightly bent, bring your arm down and pick up the dumbbell, make sure your back is straight.
3.Bring your arm with the dumbbell backwards so that your arm will be touching your groin.
4.Using your hips make a sudden foward movemenet as you use your hips to make the dumbbell swing upwards. Make sure you are not using your arms, only use your arms to hold the dumbbell, not to exert any force on it.
5.Make sure your back is always straight and bring the dumbbell back to the starting position (arm resting on groin) and repeat.
You should repeat until you feel very fatigued, then rest for a period of 30 seconds to a minute and then repeat again. You should try to aim for 15 minutes for the best possible results.
This is just one of the dumbbell workouts which can be done using adjustable dumbbells, please stay tuned here for more.
