Dumbbell Bicep Curls
An upper-body isolation exercise using dumbbells to strengthen the biceps, enhance arm definition, and improve elbow-flexion strength through controlled curling movements.
Discover exercises for every goal — strength, endurance, flexibility, or fat loss.
How it works: Use the filters to find the right exercise for your equipment, skill level, and target muscle group. These exercises feature in our challenges, workouts, and workout plans - but we’ve also made them available for you to browse and learn from. They’re great for discovering individual exercises that target specific muscles or for finding effective alternatives.
An upper-body isolation exercise using dumbbells to strengthen the biceps, enhance arm definition, and improve elbow-flexion strength through controlled curling movements.
A lower-body strength exercise using dumbbells while sitting back to a box or bench, targeting the quads and glutes, improving squat mechanics, control, and safe depth consistency.
A chest-isolating exercise performed lying back with dumbbells, opening and closing the arms in a wide arc to target the pectorals, improve chest expansion, and enhance upper-body muscle definition.
An upper-body strength exercise performed lying back with dumbbells, targeting the chest, triceps, and shoulders to build pressing power, stability, and muscle development.
A lower-body exercise using dumbbells to add resistance as you step diagonally behind the body, emphasizing the glutes—especially the glute medius—while improving hip stability, balance, and unilateral leg strength.
A lower-body strength exercise using dumbbells while performing small, controlled pulses at the bottom of a deep squat to intensify quad and glute engagement and build endurance in the squat position.
A rotator cuff–strengthening exercise using light dumbbells to train shoulder stability, improve joint integrity, and enhance controlled outward arm rotation.
A core-strengthening exercise combining traditional flutter kicks with light dumbbells for added resistance or upper-body stability, targeting the lower abs, hip flexors, and deep core muscles while enhancing coordination and control.
A glute-focused exercise performed with the soles of the feet together and knees open, using a dumbbell for added resistance to intensify glute max activation, hip engagement, and posterior-chain strength.
A lower-body exercise performed with dumbbells held in front and feet placed closer together, emphasizing quad strength, core stability, and controlled upright squat mechanics.
A posterior-chain exercise using a dumbbell for added resistance as you lift the hips, targeting the glutes and hamstrings while improving hip strength, stability, and glute activation.
A hip-hinge posterior-chain exercise using dumbbells to add resistance as you hinge forward, strengthening the hamstrings, glutes, and lower back while improving hinge mechanics and spinal stability.
