DUMBBELLS ARE

FOR EVERYONE

Dumbbells. Those are just those little weights you see people using at the gym, right? Those things overzealous exercisers fling to the floor when they're feeling really good? Wrong. And also, right! Dumbbells might be mini, but they’re mighty. Think of them as the Swiss Army Knife of the fitness world – versatile, efficient, and super effective.

For example, using dumbbells is a great way to check off the US Department of Health’s recommended regimen of twice-weekly resistance training. They can be used at any fitness level and for a great number of different exercises. For focused training and whole-body workouts alike.

CAN I BUILD MUSCLE

WITH DUMBLLESS

One of the most common questions when it comes to dumbbells is: Can I build enough muscles and get strong using dumbbells? The straightforward answer is: yes.

Research* shows that training with free weights or machines can give you similar increases in muscle mass and strength. The important thing is to find what kind of training you enjoy the most and stick with it. So if you ever questioned whether you can build muscles with dumbbells, doubt no longer! These little miracles really do work.

However, building muscles should not be your only consideration when choosing workout equipment. As we’ll detail below, exercising with dumbbells has numerous benefits compared to other equipment.
