Shoulder Muscle Exercises for Beginners at Home: Get Started Today!

Everyone desires a fit, healthy, and toned body. Bodybuilding is a sport that enables you to achieve a powerful, muscular, and aesthetically pleasing physique. While some may hit the gym regularly for training, others may find it challenging to maintain a consistent gym routine. For those unable to make it to the gym regularly, we've designed a beginner-friendly workout program that you can do at home.

All you need is a pair of dumbbells with a moderate weight of 5 or 10 kilograms, depending on your ability. If dumbbells are not available, you can use water bottles as substitutes. Start with one-liter bottles and gradually progress to two-liter bottles. The weight doesn't have to be heavy initially. Rest between sets should be 60 to 90 seconds for optimal results.
