Dumbbells are also very versatile pieces of equipment that allow you to train the entire body. They have the advantage of coming in various weight increments (starting from 1kg), making them suitable for seniors and beginners as well. Some movements performed with this accessory offer more variations than a barbell, as you can hold the dumbbell with your palms facing each other, rotate your hands during a movement, or alternate arms.
With dumbbells, it is also possible to tailor the training to a more specific activity or focus on a particular need of the student. For example, you can strengthen one arm for a volleyball player or improve daily movements such as lifting a box or sitting down.
People with limited time can benefit from exercises with dumbbells by performing a broader workout that enables strength and muscle mass gains while also working on balance and coordination simultaneously. It also facilitates training with combined or sequential movements, such as bi-sets and tri-sets.
