Best Dumbbells for At-Home Gyms
Skimble's Workout Trainer app offers an extensive array of dumbbell-based workouts that you can do right at home. A good set of dumbbells, even a budget-friendly one, will seriously up your fitness game. So no more excuses about not having the right gear! Dumbbells are perfect for building strength and muscle endurance – think lifting kids or a ton of potatoes with ease.
- Consider setting aside a small amount each month for a solid set of hex dumbbells with a rubber coating. They will be a game changer! We use them ALL THE TIME. Their frequent use in our routines is a testament to their value. These dumbbells feature knurled handles for a secure grip, low-odor rubber hex bells that stay in place and reduce noise, and minimize wear and tear. While a 5-50 lbs set suffices for many, powerlifters may opt for heavier sets to match their advanced requirements.
- On a budget and/or limited for space? A nice adjustable dumbbell set is your answer. The REP Quickdraw Adjustable Dumbbells and the Bowflex SelectTech Adjustable Dumbbells get the job done. They'll give you access to a range of weights at a fraction of the cost. They're compact, versatile, and wallet-friendly. Plus, they won't turn your living room into a gladiator arena.
- Don't forget a large, quality mat. Gorilla Mats are great – they add comfort and protect your floors and equipment. Let's get those workouts going!
