6 Crossfit Dumbbell Workouts To Improve Endurance

Dumbbells are my single favorite exercise tool when training for higher repetition more endurance based tasks. I find that they are easier to manage than kettlebells yet allow for better muscle coordination than barbells. Truthfully to be a fully developed athlete you need to train with every implement possible from dumbbells to sandbags to tactical weight vests, all of it matters.
