line-divider-graphic.jpgDumbbells, A Necessary Addition to Your Home Gym

No home gym would be complete without a versatile set of dumbbells. Marcy has the selection you need to get results with your home gym workout. Young and old, novice or expert, everyone benefits from adding a dumbbell set to their daily home gym routine. Simple and effective, dumbbell exercises are ideal for joint isolation, full-body workouts, and compound movement multi-planar exercises. Dumbbell weights create both inter- and intramuscular coordination. Intramuscular coordination is the efficient coordination of muscle fibers, whereas inter-muscular coordination defines the efficient coordination of a group of muscles with other muscles. Essentially both define the way muscles activate, either individually or with other groups of muscles. The more efficient the activation, the more energy is conserved. 

Benefits of Working out with a Dumbbell Set

The IDEA Health and Fitness Association reports that some of the benefits of weight training, including the use of dumbbell weights, help women lose more fat than those who just did cardio. Additionally, the muscle gained from strength training increases resting metabolism rates. In fact, each pound of muscle gained burns up to 50 more calories per day! But you don’t have to curl 40+lbs to see results. Lightweight dumbbells are great for toning and increasing your aerobic heart-rate when combined with walking. You’ll get tremendous benefits from using lightweight dumbbells, as do bodybuilders who rely on heavy dumbbells to increase muscle mass. 

Dumbbell Exercise Basics

How do dumbbell weights work? According to the American Council on Exercise, dumbbell weight exercises increase both mechanic and metabolic overload which cause muscle fibers to increase in size. The increase in muscle fiber is a result of the repair process that occurs during mechanic overload. 

Dumbbells can help in exercising both the upper and lower body. Here’s just a short list of the exercises you can perform with a set of dumbbells:

Upper Body

Dumbbells are an excellent way to train your upper body. They allow you to isolate different muscle groups, including your biceps, triceps, forearms, and traps. When performing upper body exercises, pick a light dumbbell. Perform each rep slowly to keep your muscles under tension for longer. If you want to tone your muscles, perform more reps at a lighter weight. If it’s all about building muscle, choose a challenging weight and perform fewer reps during each set.

  • Curls – bicep, tricep, hammer
  • Rows – upright, one-arm, bent-over
  • Presses – bench, overhead
  • Lateral Raises – front, side
  • Flys – seated, lying, standing

Lower Body

Think dumbbells are only for getting buff arms? Think again. Dumbbells are also a great addition to your leg day exercises. By holding a dumbbell in each hand you naturally increase the amount of weight (resistance) you must move when performing lower body exercises. Experiment with holding dumbbells at your sides, on your shoulders, or in the front rack position to bring different muscle groups into play. You can even hold the dumbbells overhead on certain movements to add in some shoulder activation to your set.

  • Lunges – stationery, walking
  • Step-ups
  • Squats – goblet, front rack
  • Stiff leg Deadlift

Core

By adding dumbbells to core-oriented movements, you increase the resistance your body must work against to complete the rep. This will give your abs and obliques a greater challenge during each rep. For example, if sit-ups have become too easy, try holding one or two dumbbells against your chest as you perform them. Start light when adding dumbbells to your core exercises. Focus on performing the reps correctly before adding heavier weights. You may find that performing core exercises with dumbbells requires more coordination and balance. That’s just part of the fun and greater overall improvement that dumbbells and provide.

  • Farmer’s carry
  • Sit-ups
  • Side bends
