Hi Robin! I can't remember if I ever posted before but I've been lurking for a week or 2.
Here's some ideas... I apologize in advance if you already do or have done them.
Lower Body:
1) Quads- How about some standing lunges or even better walking lunges?
2) Calves- If you have a bench, put one leg up and one leg back. Your leg on the bench has it's knee directly above the ankle. The leg on the floor is only as far back as your heel can safely touch all the way to the floor. Hold some dumbbells on your sides or on your shoulders. Lift up the heel and mindfully press it all the way to the floor. Can be a killer!
3) Hamstrings- Plies' are a nice variation. Wide stance, toes and ankles pointed to the corners of the room. Dumbells are held in front or on your shoulders. Be sure to squeeze through your hammies and inner thigh on the way up.
Upper Body
1)Back- Rhomboid Flyes, Weighted Shrugs, Back Extensions, pullovers on the ball (the extra balance adds intensity).
2) Chest- Do the chest presses or flyes on a ball or at an incline. Should feel differents. Good old fashioned pushups should add a little pizazz as your 2nd exercise.
3)Shoulders- Overhead presses, clean and press, Arnolds (my fav), frontal raises, rear delt flyes, side laterals, upright rows, and many more. I love shoulders!!!
4) Biceps- Instead of doing a bicep curl, keep your elbows planted by the sides and angle your forearms to the corners of the room (like you would carry a bunch of grocery bags). This is called a Q curl and is more beneficial for women because of our shape. Also, hammer curls, rotating hammer curls, and any exercises on balancing on the ball or on an incline.
5) Triceps- Skull crushers, Bench Dips (with own body weight or you could add some in your lap), tricep kickbacks (make sure you're leaning over far enough to make gravity work against your tricep), and pushups with your fingers facing forward and your palms a little narrower than shoulder-width apart.
I hope this helps. Great pics by the way!!! You are doing fantastic. One of my favorite websites with some great dumbbell exercises is at
