Benches & Dumbbells
RitKeep provides the ideal range of weight benches and dumbbells to help you reach your home gym goals. Whether you're young or old, a beginner or a pro, everyone can benefit from adding a workout bench and dumbbells to their daily home routine.
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 along with the weight bench, 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 50 pounds to see results.
Lighter weights are perfect for toning muscles and boosting your aerobic heart rate, especially when combined with activities like walking. Whether you’re focusing on light weight lifting for toning or using heavy dumbbells to build muscle mass, you’ll find the right balance as you become more familiar with your weight options.
For a complete strength training experience, a workout bench is an essential addition to your home gym. Opting for an adjustable weight bench set with features like a leg developer, preacher curl pad, and bar catch gives you the flexibility of a full gym’s worth of exercises, all from the comfort of your home.
Exercise Basics for Dumbbell & Weight Bench
How do dumbbells work? According to the American Council on Exercise, using weights increases mechanical and metabolic stress on muscles, leading to muscle fiber growth. This growth happens as the muscles repair themselves after being overloaded.
Use your workout bench and dumbbell set to perform these exercises:
Upper Body
Dumbbells are a great tool for upper body training. They enable you to target specific muscle groups, such as your biceps, triceps, forearms, and traps. When doing upper body exercises, start with a lighter weight and perform each rep slowly to keep your muscles under tension longer. For muscle toning, do more reps with lighter weights. If your goal is to build muscle, opt for a heavier weight and do fewer reps per 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 just for building strong arms? Think again. Dumbbells are also a fantastic addition to your leg workouts. Holding a weight in each hand naturally increases the resistance you work against during lower body exercises.
Try holding dumbbells by your sides, on your shoulders, or in the front rack position to engage different muscle groups. You can even hold them overhead during certain movements to incorporate shoulder activation into your routine.
- ● Lunges – stationery, walking
- ● Step-ups
- ● Squats – goblet, front rack
- ● Stiff leg Deadlift
Core
Adding dumbbells to core exercises increases the resistance, making your abs and obliques work harder with each rep. For instance, if sit-ups feel too easy, try holding one or two dumbbells against your chest while performing them.
Start with light weights when incorporating dumbbells into your core routine. Focus on proper form before progressing to heavier weights. You may also notice that using dumbbells in core exercises demands more coordination and balance.
- ● Russian twist
- ● Turkish get up
- ● Farmer’s carry
- ● Sit-ups
- ● Side bends
