Many people strive to improve their abdominal muscles to get that 'beach body' look. Though it isn't all that easy as working on the abdominals can be hard work, as well as time consuming.
Abdominal exercises will improve your core strength and help with balance. They will also help you to get a flat stomach as long as you watch what you eat.
The majority of stomach exercises rely on your own body weight resistance, which means they can get tedious once you overcome your own weight. Performing dumbbell abdominal exercises will increase this resistance. This will reduce the amount of repetitions you have to do, and also strengthen your stomach muscles more effectively.
The chest is formed of the pectoral muscles, or pecs for short. The pectorals are sometimes viewed as what I like to call; 'the man muscle'. There is evidence to show that increased chest size in men size can result in increased sexual appeal? Source
Need I say more? The chest is also an important part of the body as they are engaged in nearly all physical activities. Chest workouts will increase your strength when lifting, pulling and pushing.
You don't necessarily need a lot of equipment to exercise the chest, as you can simply perform dumbbell chest workouts. No need for any special equipment apart from dumbbells (and a bench is recommended).
