Fitness is possible even if you have limited time and space.   There is nothing like working out at home to give you great results in as little time as possible.  One of the best ways to get quick results is to do weight training, and one of the best overall weight training exercises is to use adjustable dumbbells for a squat press.  It will strengthen your entire body.

Here is the video for dumbbells squat press technique.

When you are watching this video be sure to pay attention to the technique that the instructor is using.   The instructor is at a gym using traditional dumbbells, and they work great, but for home use, I really like adjustable dumbbells. Mostly because they are a lot easier to store.   Here is the difference.

Adjustable Dumbbells (1 set – small space)

Regular Dumbbell Set (1 set – a lot more room)
[phpzon]36″ Dumbell Rack w/ Hex Dumbells, 1[/phpzon]

Either one works for any dumbbell exercise. It is mostly a matter of preference or space and it just depends on what you are looking for in your equipment.

Tips for doing a Squat Press correctly.

• Don’t go too heavy.
• Always use correct form and a lighter weight.
• Hold dumbbells at shoulders.
• Feet shoulder width apart
• Stomach tight, chest up
• Basic move is a squat combined with a shoulder press.
• Keep weight back on heels.

Because the squat press works all your major muscle groups it is a fantastic exercise for strengthening your entire body. Remember not to do the same exercise two days in a row.  It is a good idea to also cross train in order to get the most benefit from your exercise routine.  If you are looking for other adjustable dumbbell exercises be sure to check out the other videos on this site (like bicep curls).  You will find some good ones.
