4 Top Benefits of Own Adjustable Dumbbells Instead of a Traditional Dumbbell Set

Posted: Mar 07, 2011 |Comments: 0 |

Pretty much everyone has heard of adjustable dumbbells these days. They come in a few different styles and brands with PowerBlock and BowFlex SelecTech being two of the most popular brands.

No matter which brand you choose to buy, there are some great benefits to having this kind of dumbbell set in your workout room.

Below are a few of the biggest benefits of owning adjustable dumbbells.

One of the biggest benefits of adjustable dumbbells is the cost savings.

They literally take the place of a dozen or so individual dumbbells. If you individually purchased all the dumbbells at five pound increments that equaled one set of adjustable dumbbells, you'd be floored at what you'd have to spend. Depending on which set you're looking at, they essentially replace (in the case of PowerBlocks) 9 pairs or 18 fixed dumbbells that would have a combined weight of 450 lb.

Space savings

The next huge benefit of adjustable dumbbells is the space savings. If you have vast amounts of room and space isn't a concern, you'll still enjoy how compact they are. However, if you live in an apartment or a condo and room is a big factor for you, adjustable dumbbells will be perfect for you. Depending on which set you get, if you have a couple square feet you'll have all the room necessary for storage. A small space in the closet also works well if you want them out of the way.

Home workouts

If you'd prefer not to go to the gym, but still want several weight combinations to choose from, (without having to have an entire weight rack lined up along the wall) these dumbbells are definitely for you. You won't have to wait for a machine, have people watch you workout, or have a ton of weights in your house.

In addition, since they allow for a pretty simple way to change the amount of weight desired, you can easily use them in conjunction with many of the workout programs that are on the market, such as P90X.

Portable

Dovetailing with the point above, if you'd like to workout with a friend, you can easily load these dumbbells into the back seat of your car, or in the trunk and take them with you. Just be careful when loading them as to avoid back injury.

    If you are looking to buy some weights, then there are several things you need to take into consideration first. The first thing is to decide what types of exercises you need them for so that you can choose the right ones. The next thing is just how much room do you have to store the weights. If you only have a small space then it wouldn't be ideal to have a full set of weights with a barbell and dumbbells.
