As a personal trainer with years of experience, I am always looking for innovative products to help my clients achieve their fitness goals. The Dualbell is one such product that I highly recommend for anyone looking to take their full-body workouts to the next level.

The Dualbell is a unique fitness product that allows you to use dumbbells as weight plates on a barbell, enabling you to perform a wide range of barbell exercises with the added benefit of using dumbbells. This makes it a versatile and convenient product for anyone looking to incorporate both dumbbell and barbell exercises into their fitness routine.

So, how can you use the Dualbell to create a full-body workout routine that targets multiple muscle groups and delivers maximum results? Here are some tips:

Start with compound movements

exerciser ready to deadlift using dumbbells connected to a barbell by DualbellsCompound movements are exercises that work multiple muscle groups at once. Examples include squats, deadlifts, and bench presses. These exercises are ideal for full-body workouts, as they help you build overall strength and power while also promoting muscle growth and development.

By using the Dualbell, you can perform these compound movements with the added benefit of using dumbbells, making them more challenging and effective. For example, you can perform a dumbbell deadlift using the Dualbell, which combines the benefits of both dumbbell and barbell exercises for maximum effectiveness.

Incorporate isolation exercises

Isolation exercises are exercises that target specific muscle groups. Examples include bicep curls, tricep extensions, and lateral raises. These exercises are ideal for targeting individual muscle groups that may be weaker or underdeveloped.

By using the Dualbell, you can perform isolation exercises with the added benefit of using dumbbells, which can help you correct muscle imbalances and improve your overall balance and stability. For example, you can perform a dumbbell lateral raise using the Dualbell, which targets your shoulders while also challenging your core and balance.

Switch between dumbbell and barbell exercises

The Dualbell allows you to switch between using dumbbells and using them as weight plates on a barbell, making it easy to perform both types of exercises in one workout. This helps you add variety to your routine and challenge your muscles in new ways.

For example, you can perform a dumbbell bench press using the Dualbell, and then switch to a barbell squat, all in the same workout.  These are two large muscle groups that you can go heavy with, so adding or reducing weight is not much of a process since you can use the spacer and a second Dualbell on each side so that you can maximize the weight you have on your dumbbell rack.

You can workout in an old school way, with the newest in weight training accessories.  Under normal use, the time it takes to load Dualbells onto a barbell is the same as putting on traditional weight plates.  Pound for pound your dumbbells can now work the same way as traditional weight plates.

Help With Fitness Resolutions

by glenn on February 14, 2018

It’s Good to Ask for Help with New Year’s Resolutions

After a whole year of thinking I knew what I was doing, I stepped on the weight scale and realized how wrong I was. Curiously, I wasn’t alone in this respect. Often, I come across others who feel they know what they are doing at the gym. But as the year gets near the end, one can’t refute the truth that very little has changed in the reflection we see in the mirror.

In all seriousness, there are advantages in doing it yourself. It appears to suffice that a simple gym membership should be enough. With basic access, one is free to do what they wish with all the machines at their disposal. But again, sometimes the results we desire don’t match what we see in the mirror at year’s end.

Another option has been to invest in equipment at home. Sure, this is appealing. Working out in the privacy of your own home can be liberating in the sense that we can do what we want at the rate that we want without having to worry about being in someone’s way or waiting for someone to finish using the machine at the gym. However, the truth can still be the same. Very little physical change may have happened during a year’s time working out solo at home.

Perhaps it’s time to explore another option where it’s ok to ask and receive help from someone else. Westchester Personal training is a realistic and promising route when it comes to achieving fitness results that you can see within a certain time. Personal trainers have the value of bringing their expertise to aid in your fitness goals. A trainer is sure to know what kind of routine to tailor to your needs and schedule depending on your lifestyle.

With a New Rochelle personal trainer’s assistance, you’ll know what workouts to do on the right days, what machines to do, how often to do them, and when to take rest times. As the year is nearing its final days, be sure to consider professionals in the area who are ready to help fulfill your fitness goals. It can be done alone but, it’s also good to ask for help.
