Dumbbells

Dumbbells are one of the best pieces of equipment you can use to enhance your fitness. If you compare a dumbbell to a machine or even a barbell, dumbbells are always more demanding. Dumbbells require much more stabilization and demand more of the muscular and nervous systems. Another reason why we use dumbbells for the majority of our exercises is that dumbbells when used properly have the ability to fix range of motion issues and discrepancies in strength between the right and left sides. Dumbbells allow you to move the weight through a greater range of motion than the barbell and if you are weaker on one side then you will find out. When people first start a weight training routine they should always start with dumbbells and then move onto the barbell as your body becomes more balanced.
