Dumbell sets, or ‘free weights’, are used, one in the right hand, and the other in the left hand, and fashionable dumbell sets is a term used to describe the very latest in dumbells, available in the market.  Dumbell sets are usually used as part of a workout routine. The sole purpose of dumbbell sets is to provide strength for the target muscles of the arms. The convenience of dumbbells is that they takes up very little space, especially when they are stored on a dumbbell rack. 

 Two types of dumbell sets: the adjustable and the fixed

 ADJUSTABLE dumbell sets look like a small barbell. They are made of one long steel bar, and there are weights that can be replaced on either side to increase or decrease weights.

 FIXED dumbell sets  are what the famous Sue Sylvester character on television is normally seen with. These are cast iron dumbell sets that are covered in rubber to prevent injuring the skin of the palm of the hand. The rubber also protects the floor when the dumbell sets fall. These usually come in a variety of sizes for weight differences. Fixed dumbell sets are usually filled with concrete or plastic fillings.

What makes it more popular for women, is that these dumbells can come in a variety of colors: pink, blue, green, etc. Sometimes, the more fashionable women, color-coordinate their workout clothes with their dumbell set!  Other times, the rubber covers can be removed and replaced with funky color to attract the users into actually using them!

For others, having a dumbells in the office can do wonders for releasing stress. Some use light weight dumbells on one hand when they are deep in thought.
