Since the pandemic, I've gone from going to a gym or studio almost every day to working out exclusively at home, which is a massive shift, and one I've honestly enjoyed; I like being able to start, or stop, a workout whenever I feel like it, and the lack of commute time has done wonders for my schedule. I've amassed a few pieces of gym equipment, but there are still a few key items I've been lacking. With the new POPSUGAR fitness line launching at Target, I've filled in the gaps of my modest home gym setup, and my favourite, by far, are the dumbbells ($7-$35).
I love these dumbbells for a few key reasons. First of all, they're neoprene, so they're very easy to grip, even when you're sweaty. Plus, they come in lots of cute colours, which is a little boost of serotonin in a sea of black and grey weights. My number one favourite feature, though, is the square shape. All the dumbbells I've previously used are round, which means they roll around on the floor. These square dumbbells don't roll, which gives me much less anxiety when I'm doing squat jumps. It's the perfect example of a tiny design change that significantly impacts the experience and efficacy of a product. I got five pound weights, and I love that they're pink, and the perfect mid-weight option for me. I use them for renegade rows, bicep curls, and weighted squats, and I can't say enough good things. If you're looking to add something to your home gym setup, get these dumbbells, and thank me later.
My Favourite New Dumbbells: POPSUGAR Fitness Neoprene Dumbbells
These are my POPSUGAR Fitness Neoprene Dumbbells ($10 each). They're sold on their own, so order two if you want to make sure you get a set.
POPSUGAR Fitness Neoprene Dumbbells
The POPSUGAR Fitness Neoprene Dumbbells ($7 - $35) come in sizes 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, and 20 pounds. This means that you can pick and choose what size fits your workout needs best.
POPSUGAR Fitness Neoprene Dumbbells
The five pound dumbbell ($10) is the perfect size for my workouts. It's heavy enough that I feel like I'm doing something, but not so heavy that I feel like I'm compromising my form. It's by no means my heaviest weight that I use, but it's the ideal addition to my home gym.
