Sometimes, we just do not have time to hit the gym. But that does not mean fitness has to take a backseat. Celebrity fitness instructor Yasmin Karachiwala, who trains Bollywood stars like Alia Bhatt and Katrina Kaif, shared a quick and effective workout for those busy days — and all you need is a pair of dumbbells.
In a video shared on Instagram on July 29, Yasmin Karachiwala demonstrated a 4-step dumbbell routine that targets your shoulders from every angle: front, side and back. It is perfect for doing at home, especially if you are short on time or equipment.
Here's the full routine:
- DB Front Raise: This move works the front part of your shoulders. Hold a dumbbell in each hand and lift your arms straight in front of you until they are at shoulder height.
- DB Lateral Raise: Next, target the sides of your shoulders. Raise your arms out to the sides, forming a “T” shape. Go slowly and controlled.
- DB Overhead Press: Bring the dumbbells up to shoulder level, then push them overhead. This strengthens your full shoulder and arm muscles.
- DB Rear Delt Flye: Bend slightly forward and raise your arms out to the side, squeezing your upper back. This hits the often-neglected rear delts.
In the video, she advised doing 10 repetitions x 3 sets of each exercise using 2 to 5 kg dumbbells.
