Dumbbells are free weight equipment that are used for strength as well as aerobic training. They are inexpensive additions to your home or commercial gym, and they can be used by everyone on all fitness and training levels, ranging from beginner to expert. Dumbbells are very simple fitness equipment, yet they offer great advantages especially when it comes to increasing muscle mass and improving strength. The following are some things you should consider when shopping for dumbbells:
Dumbbells come in a wide range of different shapes and sizes. They also vary in weight. You can buy them individually or in sets so make sure you know what you need or what you want to get out of your training before deciding on the kind of set to purchase. There are proper dumbbell types and weights to use if you want to lose weight, gain strength, enhances muscle flexibility, or build your body.
If you need dumbbells for your flexibility exercises or to lose weight, go for lighter weight varieties. You don't need heavy dumbbells if you want to increase your flexibility or shed some weight. Lightweight dumbbells ranging from 2 to 10 pounds may just be enough to help you achieve your fitness goals.
Heavier weight dumbbells, on the other hand, are useful for body building and increasing muscle strength. If your goal is to achieve more muscle mass and increase the strength of your muscles, heavier dumbbells ranging from 20 to 100 pounds in weight are better choices.
You should also consider whether you need a power block or if your routines will do with individual dumbbells. Power blocks contain multiple dumbbells in one. This is a space-saving solution if you don't want your dumbbells to crowd your gym or exercise floor. Power blocks allow you to adjust the weight of your dumbbells to your desired level. They feature a dial or a knob on either side, which allow you to add or remove weights as needed. Power blocks are usually adjustable in 5 pound increments but if you want more weight options or allow several people to work out at once, it might be better to invest in individual dumbbells even though they take up more space and are usually more expensive than power bocks. Both set types offer their pros and cons, depending on your fitness needs, so make sure you know what you are looking for before making your purchase.
