For many people, buying a set of dumbbells is their first step toward strength training at home. That's a great place to start, since dumbbells are inexpensive, require little space, and are easy to use. They're available in an awesome range of weights, from cute little one-pounders to Olympic behemoths, so everybody can start at their own level.
If you're new to strength training, Fitnessgiant.com carries posters and The Great Dumbbell Handbook to help you get started. Always do five to ten minutes of aerobic warm-up to loosen up your muscles. Use only as much weight as you can handle while maintaining perfect form. Lurching through a set of reps with too much weight won't help you reach your goals and might lead to injury. Aim for smooth, controlled motion with a weight just heavy enough to lead to near-failure on the last rep.
At Fitnessgiant.com, we carry an excellent assortment of dumbbells to get you started. Twelve-sided or hexagonal dumbbells won't roll when you set them down. Rubber or vinyl dumbbells look attractive and quiet clanging metals.Adjustable dumbbells let you change the weight without having to buy several sets. Many of our dumbbells are ideal for Hotel Fitness Centers and Hotel Exercise Rooms.
You can buy dumbbells individually or in an assortment of sets. We can even create a custom set for you, if you wish. We also carry weight benches,dumbbell racks and plate trees for your home gym.
