Today I’m going to talk about a piece of home exercise equipment that, if invented 10 years ago, then 50% of fitness freak would not have gone for expensive monthly subscription to gyms. Presenting “Bowflex SelectTech 1090 Adjustable Dumbbell (Single Dumbbell)“.
Price: $349.00
Why You should Buy Bowflex Adjustable Dumbbell (Features)
- Bowflex adjustable dumbbell. What can I say about it. I have always dreamed of such a solution since I have started working out from home. Because, it’s a pain to have separate barbel plates in my home setup for various level of exercises. I felt so irritated when I had to keep joining and opening the plates in every sets. Doing this over and over again leads to loss of motivation.
- But Bowflex adjustable dumbbell brought an evolution to this trouble. Instead of keeping multiple sets of weights around, you can get rid of everything and just use the Bowflex SelectTech 1090 adjustable dumbbell.
- The SelectTech 1090 is the equivalent of having five dumbbells in one, since its resistance can be varied from 10 to 90 pounds (in 5-pound increments). Your workout room can now be as small as two feet by two feet.
- The dial mechanism on the 1090 dumbbell is attached to a single handle. The handle automatically attaches to heavier plates as you turn the dial, and the weight you’ve selected is clearly shown.
- Simple strength and muscle-building moves like curls and raises can be performed with lighter weights, while more challenging moves like shrugs and lunges require the use of larger weights.
- Best of all, the SelectTech 1090’s are completely scalable to your strength level, so you won’t have to keep buying heavier weights again.
- It’s mechanism is so beautiful that anyone, be it female or male, can easily set the weight according to their convenience.
- It takes a lot of dollars to set up a full proof gym at home. In that place, this one Bowflex adjustable dumbbell is only around 350 dollars and it’s doing almost all the work of all the machines of the whole gym at your home.
- All the big muscle workouts can be done by this single Bowflex adjustable dumbbell against most of the big machines in the gym at your home.
- Interestingly, there are also on-demand online classes for full-body workouts with these dumbbells.
My verdict:
These dumbbells are recommended for those who do workout from home. Gym owners don’t need these dumbbells, for them old fashioned dumbbell plates are fine. Because if someone lifts 10kg with a barbell, someone else will lift 20kg with another barbell.
But those who do home exercises or calisthenics can definitely buy these dumbbells for their own home. Such a decision will only make their life easier, not difficult in any way.
