Working out with dumbbells is a great way to get fit at home.
Weight training is a great way to get your heart rate up and get in shape in the least amount of time.
And if you have adjustable dumbbells then you know they don't take up much room, which makes them perfect for a home gym.
There are many exercises that I do with dumbbells including the dumbbell squat.
This exercise will help you to develop strength, muscle mass, and speed.
Of course muscle burns calories, so if you are looking to lose weight this is a great exercise to do.
How to do a dumbbell squat.

• Always start with moderate weight dumbbells.
  
• Place the weights on your shoulders with your elbows facing forward.
  
• Keep your heels and back flat.
  
• Stick your butt back a little bit.
  
• Knees slightly bent.
  
• Keep your weight on your heels and your shins behind your toes.
  
• Squat down until your knees reach a 90 degree angle.
  
• Come back up.
  
• 3 seconds to go down.
  
• 1 second pause at the bottom.
  
• Come up smoothly.
  
• Do 8 to 10 reps.
  

As with any weight bearing exercise, be sure to give your muscles a days rest between workouts.
You can workout every day, but switch up the muscle groups you are using to avoid injury.
How to stay motivated.
If you are new to using weights to workout, be aware that the first couple of times you may get sore.
Don't let this discourage you.
After the first several times lifting this will pass.
Focus on your goals and pay attention to how your body is changing.
If you are consistent you will start to notice a change in just a few weeks.
Another good thing to do is to work out with a friend This really helps to keep you on the right track.
