Dumbbells are one of (if not the) most popular pieces of gym equipment for building muscle and developing strength – and for good reason. In fact, dumbbells are tested in a home environment to ensure they perform well in the surroundings they are supposed to be used. We look at performance details as well as how convenient it is to use and store the dumbbells.

GYM WEIGHTS

Holding a dumbbell in each hand as though you’ve just finished a bicep curl, and with your palms facing your shoulders, push the dumbbells up over your head while rotating your arms until your palms face away from you. Straighten your arms, pause, then reverse the movement and repeat. Working out at home is just as beneficial as working out at the gym and it's a great way to improve your overall health.

Around 50% of adults say that they don’t have time to go to the gym regularly. This means that almost half of the population are missing out on the excellent benefits that come with being a gym-goer. So what's the solution? One option is to bring the gym to you at home! EXERCISE AT HOME Here at Decathlon, we've got everything you need to turn your garage, loft, or spare bedroom into a space that could rival your local gym — perfect for Gym session at home. You can sculpt those arms, or build your shoulders with our range of home weights which come in a variety of shapes and sizes, including 5kg weights and 10kg weights. Not only that, you can also buy additional weight plates to add to the bars you already have. GYM SETS & MATS Also consider the types of exercises you’ll be doing. If you plan to perform ballistic movements, or you’re new to lifting weights and plan to try out movements for the first time, you might want to consider opting for a handle with a soft coating that will be kinder on your body than metal alternatives. Shape Top-scoring models provided the natural, sturdy feel of a fixed dumbbell, with minimal rattling or shaking, and had a practical shape that was easy to wield. You can do so much more than just curls with the best dumbbells. Most people will probably associate dumbbells with bicep curls, but these weights can train so much more than just the front of your upper arm. Biceps are overrated, hear us out!The other problem with cast iron dumbbells, as mentioned, is their potential for damaging hard floors – in particular wooden, tiled or linoleum surfaces. If they slip out of your hand, or you drop them from a height, you could cause damage to the floor and potentially the weights. Domyos Weight Training 20 Kg Threaded Weights Kit: Verdict A solid, robust weight kit that’s ideal for those doing cardio, HIIT or other fat-burning workouts at home, this is a high-quality piece of kit for the money. The build quality is impressive, the design and unprotected iron weights feel old-school, and although adding or removing weights takes a little extra time, it’s a small price to pay for the cash saving. Get a set before they’re all snapped up. Domyos Threaded Weight Kit 20kg review: Also consider The build quality of this weights kit is high. It may not be the most expensive on the market but, as they are cast-iron weights, you can see and feel the quality.

If you’re interested in cardio, we have everything you need to get started or to take it to the next level. Get your sweat on in an elliptical , treadmill , or rowing machine , and find out why Gearjunkie said “you’ll welcome the straightforward simplicity... like, why don’t you have one already?” of our Domyos 500 exercise bike .

Abdominal Equipment Yes, it can take a while to change the weight as you have to spin each individual collar on and off each time, and the plates can clang when you press them overhead. But their no-frills build makes them a darn sight cheaper than their tech-heavy counterparts. Men's Health Lab Approved In terms of building muscle, the kit might be restrictive for those who like to lift heavier weights due to the fact it only goes up to a total of 20kg. Read our full Boxbell 3-in-1 Adjustable Dumbell review How to choose the best adjustable dumbbell for youThat said, the Boxbell 3-in-1 is a unique home weight and one that I would recommend to people who are really pressed for space, such as people living in shared accommodations. The footprint of the weights is tiny, and once you get used to the ins and outs of the Boxbell 3-in-1, you can use them for a variety of home workouts. The latest evolution of the humble dumbbell, these innovative bits of kit allow you to change the resistance of your weights with minimal effort (just what you want between energy-sapping sets). Typically, a dumbbell will either be rounded or hexagonal, the latter being the smart choice as it doesn't roll away when you put it down. It's also perfect if you fancy using a dumbbell for press-up variations. Secondly, the weight is particularly important, especially if you opt for a fixed dumbbell system, which can't be adjusted or added to. Equally, loosening the weights is a breeze, and the collars take just a few seconds to undo. In fact, I timed how long it took to add one 1kg weight on to each side of the bar – 37 seconds in total to undo both collars, add the weight and re-tighten the collars.

If you have a bigger budget and want more weight options, we’d recommend the Musclesquad 32.5kg Adjustable Dumbbell. They’re not the priciest adjustable dumbbells, so if you want more options, heavier weights and a system that allows for rapid weight changes, these will do the job at a fraction of the price of some other higher-end models. The problem with these threaded weights when compared to the more expensive adjustable dumbbells is that, undoubtedly, unscrewing and replacing different weights takes time out of your workout and can interrupt your flow. I found also that the collar occasionally began to work itself lose during workouts if I hadn’t twisted it as tight as it will go, which meant the weights then became wobbly on the bar and I’d have to re-tighten the collar. Not a major inconvenience, but an irritation that you wouldn’t find on fixed dumbbells or adjustable dumbbells. The 3-in-1 function has its caveats. The Boxbell 3-in-1 works great as an adjustable dumbbell, but it's not quite ergonomic enough to replace kettlebells. It can be used for kettlebell moves the same way you can use a decent-sized dumbbell for snatches. The same goes for using them as parallettes: you can use hex dumbbells or cheap wooden parallettes instead. So what should you look for when buying your ideal pair of adjustable dumbbells? The first and most obvious is the weight range. If you’re thinking about using these adjustable home weights more for aerobic, fat-burning exercises alongside a cardio workout, for example, look for a pair with a lower weight range, as you’ll be using these in high-repetition exercises. If you’re more about bulking and adding muscle, you will want a pair of loadable dumbbells with a higher range. Sure, the price of some sets may raise a few eyebrows at first glance, but these ‘bells are cost effective. Hear us out. The cost of gym memberships is rising and will soon surpass the singular fee of an adjustable dumbbell. Plus, with fixed free weights, you’d have to splash out every time you made decent progress and needed to challenge yourself with something heavier. No such pain with adjustables; you simply push a button/twist a dial/slap a couple more plates on and feel the burn.High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is one of the most efficient ways to do exercise at home. HIIT workouts are designed to achieve maximum results through short bursts of intense effort, and they usually require very little equipment and only a small amount of space.
