A complete set including dumbbells, kettlbells, racks and barbells is not easy to organise. Let’s take a look at ProduceBlog’s handy tips on the matter.
In recent years, more and more people prefer to train at home; the convenience of having everything at hand, and avoiding crowds, is now unrivalled. A complete weight kit is a must-have item.
Incorporating weight training and exercises into your daily workout is a very wise choice; working on strength, endurance and definition not only helps to shape and sculpt your physique, but to keep you healthy and fit. In addition to all the equipment that is essential for a home gym, there is also plenty of room for a good weight kit. A complete set, however, requires different equipment and different sizes and weights.
In today’s article, ProduceShop has selected some of the best weights online from its catalogue; adjustable or fixed dumbbells, barbells and discs, kettlbells, racks and accessories. Why don’t we take a look at them together?
Why train with weights?
Training with a weight kit brings several benefits to the body. In addition, being able to release psychological tension in an adrenaline-filled activity has been shown to help lower stress levels. Among the various positive consequences for the body we can list
- increased muscle mass
- definition of strength
- strengthening of bones and joints
- improved posture and stability
- more toned body
- accelerated metabolism, with increased burning of calories
- reduction in body fat
- increased energy and improved mood.
That’s quite a few advantages of just one activity; this means that you certainly can’t do without drawing a complete, well-rounded set. But how to do it?
Well, a first step is to get to know the different types of weights available; secondly, choose a quality retailer like ProduceShop and order them from their catalogue!
Many types of weights
Obviously, not all weights are the same. There are different types that vary not only in weight and shape, but also in the type of exercises they allow you to do. Furthermore, within the same family of weights there can be different versions (adjustable, fixed, assembled).
Another discriminating factor is the materials; the same piece of equipment, with the same shape and form, the same weight, but in a different material, can make a big difference to an experienced user. This is why all our tools are available in different shapes, weights and materials (steel, iron, rubber). Among the various types of weights, we can list:
- dumbbells, adjustable or fixed, in sets of 2 or single weights
- kettlebells, also adjustable or fixed
- barbells, both classic and hexagonal
- discs of various sizes and weights, to be used to complete the barbell
- accessories such as racks, racks and locking hooks
In order to have a complete weight kit, you should ideally have at least 2 or 3 pairs of dumbbells, 3 to 6 kettlebells, a barbell with various discs, a rack for the latter and another one for the dumbbells. In this way you will have a set that will allow you to perform any type of workout, even scaling up the degree of difficulty.
