Dumbbells are integral to a long term fitness and personal strengthening plan. Dumbbells are individual weights that are best used as part of your overall fitness workout each day. A standard but effective dumbbell exercise is generally conducted as follows. Place one dumbbell in each hand and use you arms to lift
dumbbells up to shoulder height. Now, lower your arms down so you arms are by your side. Repeat as many times as necessary.
You can also perform exercises for strengthening both arms, by working with one dumbbell and one arm at a time.
Dumbbells and dumbbell weights can be purchased as sets of pairs or as a complete dumbbell set that offers many different weight increments depending on your current fitness level and what you fitness goals are in
future.
Adjustable dumbbells can be purchased for use in
home - if you want to do some quick dumbell arm workouts each day - or borrowed at fitness clubs - if you are want to use
dumbbells as part of a great fitness program that involves treadmills, bikes, bench presses and skipping ropes.
You can usually buy dumbbells weights in 5 pound increments. This is ideal for people on a long term training program because it means that they can purchase weights that match their strength level as they improve their fitness.
