For toned arms and a sculpted upper body, dumbbell moves are such an effective way to train that after consistently doing this 30-minute workout a few times a week, it's likely that you'll notice a difference in both your strength and muscle definition. This video workout is broken up into three 10-minute videos that combine dumbbell exercises and bodyweight moves — get ready to feel the burn. It's best to have two pairs of dumbbells on hand — a light set and heavy set — ranging between three and 10 pounds.

Part One: Biceps and Triceps

Let's get right into it with this 10-minute workout from celeb trainer Holly Perkins. These exercises target the biceps, shoulders, and triceps to create a shapely upper body without any bulk.

Part Two: Upper Body Plus Core

This faster-paced, more-intense 10-minute arm workout is from Kelly Ripa's trainer, Anna Kaiser of AKT in Motion, so you know it's got to be good! It incorporates challenging bodyweight exercises that not only tone the upper body, but also work the core and legs while getting your heart pumping.

Part Three: Shoulders and a Stretch

This last 10-minute workout is no joke! It focuses on the shoulders, upper arms, and upper back and then ends with some much-needed chest and shoulder stretches.
