Adjustable Dumbbells – A Farewell to Flabby Arms
Adjustable dumbbells are ideal for anyone who appreciates great-looking arms.
We’re talking hard, sculpted biceps on men, and graceful lean upper arms on
women. What would you give to have them on your body?
The best dumbbell workouts are great for the biceps, those two-headed (“bi”)
muscles at the front of the upper arm that flex the forearm. It’s such a small
muscle—yet it’s the most eye-catching on the body. They are easy to train using
most any pulling or curling exercise and it doesn’t take a lot of grueling
workouts to see real progress, especially if working out with a dumbbell set
that is easy to adjust.
Since free weights offer you the best advantage for building muscles, using easy
to adjust dumbbells should be a regular part of your workouts. It is difficult
(but not impossible) to isolate most of the stress on a particular muscle. For
this reason, a free weights (dumbbell and barbell sets) workout should be used
whenever possible.
The advantage of adjusting dumbbells is that you can start out light and add
weight as you build muscle. You need to select enough weight that will allow you
to better exhaust the muscle, but keep adding weight to your workout to max the
muscle. Mix up the workout by varying the weight and number of repetitions, and
you’ll keep your body guessing. Give ‘em something they aren’t used to and
they’ll build fiber for you, anticipating your next move!
Adjust the dumbbell set from 5 lbs to 25 lbs to work on toning and
strengthening. With fast weight changes, these types of adjusting dumbbells
provide better workouts to promote increased calorie burn and enhance
cardiovascular fitness. And best of all, a set of dumbbells that can be adjusted
will replace 9 pair (or 18 fixed dumbbells) that would have a combined weight of
450 lbs. Which would you rather buy and store?
