Think dumbbell exercises are boring? Think again. This past weekend, I went back to the drawing board and jotted down all of the dumbbell exercises that have worked wonders for my clients. These exercises break the old cycle of Curl and Press and give you a whole new challenge.

You can use any one of these exercises in your current routine. If you are up for a serious challenge, try the 625-Rep Boudro Challenge. Do 25 reps of all 25 exercises and time yourself. For exercises that involve a single arm or leg, do 12 each side—it’s not 25, but it’s close enough. I used 25 pounds for my workout. You should use a weight that allows you to do all the reps with proper form.
