Are you interested in becoming a weight lifter but you are unable to get to a gym and all you have are dumbbells? If this is you than you are looking for a free weight lifting workout. Below are a few lifts that can be done for a free weight workout:

1. The first free weight lifting exercise that can be done with dumbbells is toe raises which works the calf muscles. To do this lift you will want to hold dumbbells at shoulder level with your feet about eight inches apart. You will want to raise your body up onto your toes while you push you heels back to the floor. It is important that you stay under control and make the lift smooth because there will be a tendency to lose your balance at first.

2. The second lift that can be done with dumbbells is the press. The press works on the triceps, trapezius, deltoids, and the upper portions of the back and chest. To do this lift you will want to stand with your feet shoulder width apart, the dumbbells at shoulder height, and your palms facing in. Once you are in this position begin raising and lowering each dumbbell over your head alternating which dumbbell you raise. If you are having trouble smoothly lifting the weight and you are having to throw the weight up you are doing to much weight and should go down.

3. The third lift that can be done with dumbbells is the curl which works on the bicep muscles. To do this lift you will want to alternately curl each dumbbell up towards the shoulder, with your palms facing your shoulders, and then back down. Just like with the press you need to have a smooth movement. If you are having to arch your back and throw the weight up you are doing to much weight.

4. The final lift that can be done with dumbbells is the squat which works on the quadriceps and the glutes. To do this lift you will want to hold both dumbbells at shoulder level with your legs shoulder width apart. You will then squat down no further than when your legs are at a 90 degree angle and then raise back up. You need to make sure that you control the movement and have no thrusting up or falling down.

The four lifts listed are just four of the many free weight lifting exercises that can be done with only dumbbells.
