When you're trying/looking to get a decent workout with a smaller/limited budget at your disposal, the reliability, versatility and convenience of free weights is hard to beat. All the marketing hype about gym machines/multi gyms/home fitness machines, which promise to get you a fabulous body in a couple of weeks, don't tell you the whole story. These gym machines/multi gyms/home fitness machines are very expensive, designed for the average height and build and often complex to set up and use.
Before committing to such an expensive and large machine, consider purchasing something smaller and less expensive to make sure you are fully committed to home exercise. Small products such as resistance bands, a dumbbell set, or a pair of adjustable dumbbells will certainly be a great start to any home gym.
Adjustable dumbbells are just like fixed dumbbells with the unique advantage that they are adjustable. This means you can add on or remove weights to suit the exercise you are performing for the body part you'd like to tone, and you can match the weight to your current fitness level. Adjustable dumbbells also allow weight changes in smaller increments of 2.5 lbs, which can be a big advantage when you're looking to increase lifting weight gradually. Fixed weights typically come in 5 lb multiples, which many people find is too big of a jump.
If you like to vary your exercises using lots of different weights, adjustable dumbbells are great as they allow for quick and easy weight changes, without causing too much of a disturbance in your routine. They save on the clutter of having several fixed weights lying around, and usually come with a compact dumbbell rack for safe and easy storage. Adjustable dumbbells are easy to assemble and use, and convenient to put away when you're done with your workout.
There is a variety of different adjustable dumbbells that start out with the cheaper/inexpensive/less expensive and simple/basic manual adjustable dumbbells that require you to manually change the weight of your dumbbell. At the other end of the spectrum are automatic adjustable dumbbells. These can have their weight changed with the flick of a switch or turn of a knob. The latter can save an enormous amount of time while changing weights between exercises.
Then again, if you have this space and money, you may want to invest in getting many dumbbells of a set weight. By organizing them in your home gym on dumbbell racks, you can change weights between exercises extremely fast.
