Home Fitness Exercise Equipment - Should You Buy A Set Of Dumbbells?

By: JP Davis Home | Health-and-Fitness | Exercise


There is a lot of home fitness exercise equipment available to choose from when developing your home gym. Unfortunately, cost and size of exercise equipment can restrict your fitness needs. Dumbbells are the most versatile piece of equipment for home gyms.

With a good set of dumbbells, there really is no need for additional home fitness exercise equipment. Almost any exercise you can do on a bench or weight machine can be done with dumbbells. Unlike bulky machines, dumbbells have no restrictions in movement so you have a larger variety of workouts available.

Another benefit of dumbbells are they cost much less than most gym equipment. Even if you're buying a used full body gym, you may spend $600 or more. With dumbbells, you only buy how many you need. The price will vary depending on the amount of weight you want, but it's significantly less than a gym.

Another benefit is that basic workouts can have their intensity increased by adding dumbbells to a routine. Shadow boxing while holding dumbbells will increase the intensity in your arms and shoulders. If you hold dumbbells to your chest while doing crunches, you will give your abs a more difficult workout. You can even hold dumbbells above your head while doing supermans to really feel the burn in the core areas of your body.

Even if you have a wall full of dumbbells, with the right organizational skills, they do not take up a lot of room. Dumbbells are advancing, so instead of having a wall full, companies like PowerBlock allow you to adjust the weight settings. These allow you to have 5 to 100 pounds of weight, but are the size of two large dumbbells, so they barely take up any space.

Using dumbbells as your home fitness exercise equipment of choice will give you the body you desire. There's no workout you can't do with a set of dumbbells, so the possibilities are endless.
