They are ideal for home use, they are compact and easy to carry. Even if they are heavy. We're talking about dumbbells, of course, a real essential in your toolkit for a comprehensive workout. But which dumbbells should you get, how do you find the best dumbbells for your workout, and what should you look for when buying?
Dumbbell or barbell - the key question
Even before you start thinking about weights , you need a barbell or even two dumbbells or even a dumbbell (shaped like the ß). The best dumbbells for home use are dumbbells because they are easy to store and more versatile. An Olympic weight(20 kilogram) barbell is great for deadlifts or jumping jacks with a guided barbell. But just stowing and storing the weights takes up a lot of space. No problem in the gym, but at home you need a lot of space for it. Special dumbbells like the Esszetthantel are niche products and in the gym a valuable addition, but for home rather unsuitable.
Training with the weight bench
Best dumbbells for best training - flexibility is the key
Especially lighter dumbbells (usually up to 10 kilograms) you can also purchase as a fixed weight. Aerobic dumbbells are often even coated with neoprene, which makes them non-slip. In principle practical, but dumbbells with weight plates are preferable. This is because your workout makes you stronger on the one hand, and on the other hand you need a different weight for reverse flys than for curls - so it's obviously easier to change the weight.
Usually the weight plates are screwed on both sides of the dumbbells, which requires a little time each time. There are also more modern systems where you put the dumbbells in a tray and "click" the weights to the dumbbell tray. However, this is only recommended if you change the plates frequently.
In manufacturing, look for a cleanly finished handle and easily screwed cuffs. Steel handles are particularly rough, gloves can be recommended here. Possibly you can also rely on more innovative solutions such as the kettlebell or a medicine ball and a Deuserband. These expand the range of exercises once again and can also be used in addition to the dumbbell.
But if your fitness means something to you and you like to train quite simply at home, then you need two dumbbells and some weight plates. The number of possible exercises is huge and you'll quickly find that you can make huge leaps even with quite a few simple exercises.
