There are many people who are unable to go to a gym to train because they can’t afford it.  So here is a circuit training workout that can be performed with just a single dumbbell. The exercises I’ve chosen are easy to perform and everyone can afford buying just one dumbbell. So start today and get back into shape; even without going to the gym.

The Exercises:

Dumbbell One Armed Step Ups

• Face a bench and stand. Hold a dumbbell in your hand. Place one foot on the bench and press down so that your body will be brought up and then place the other foot.
• Then step down. Now change feet and repeat the same exercise. Also change hands while holding the dumbbells after few reps.

One Dumbbell Golf Squat

• Hold a dumbbell with both hands. Squat low and make sure that the dumbbell is in between your legs.
• Twist your torso, and while doing this squat back up. Drive the dumbbell to the right shoulder. Make sure the arms are straight. Alternate sides and repeat.

One Armed Dumbbell Crunch

• Lie down on the floor. Hold a dumbbell in front of your body. Make sure the other hand is in a neutral position.
• Crunch upwards and keep the dumbbell in a position over your head. You will feel this position in your upper abs and oblique’s. This is a very effective exercise.

One Armed Dumbbell Curls

• Hold a dumbbell to the side of your body with one hand. Curl the dumbbell toward your shoulder while bending the elbow.
• Stop when you reach the top position. Slowly bring the dumbbell down, and repeat this on the other way.

One Armed Dumbbell Split Squat

• Don’t confuse with a lunge. Unlike lunge where you bend forward and down. In this you place a foot in front of another and have a split stance.
• Just squat up and squat down in this position. This requires far more balance than the lunge.
• This may be up to ten times harder than it when it is performed just with a single dumbbell.
