the risk of injuries and gain better results.

Before doing dumbbell exercises to prepare muscles for workout, make sure to
choose the right kind of dumbbell because it may overstrain the muscles. When
you start a new exercise, it is best that you try the lighter weight.

Types of Dumbbells
There are three main types of dumbbells: the adjustable ones which are made
up of metal and their handle feature a crosshatch pattern to give users a better
grip; fixed weight dumbbells, on the other hand, has a weight that cannot be
removed and they are either made up of cast iron or plastic shells filled with
concrete; selectorized dumbbells also have adjustable weights and they offer a
more convenient way for users to change weights. Weights can be easily
changed by moving selector pens or turning dials.
