For all you exercisers out there, did you know that there is a new type of dumbbell available that is made with neoprene. Sounds odd I know, but actually, these hexagon shaped dumbbells are easy to handle and have a non-slip grip. How about we take a look at some benefits of owning these particular type of weights.
To begin with, they:
- maximize your workout with extra resistance
- are excellent for aerobic exercises
- definitely comfortable
- have a dense foam casing which provides a cushioned, non-slip grip, and
- adds strength to your walking or aerobic routine.
Priced from $3.50 to $12.00, depending on the weight, these brightly colored dumbbells bring new life to traditional black and grey metal weights.
Each weight is dipped in high visibility neoprene, and the neoprene coating adds a great look and a great feel! Additionally, they are available from 1 lb. to 10 lbs. They are good quality dumbbells and 
great for weight training at home. The neoprene dumbbells are less damaging on flooring, and because of their unique shape, they don't roll away. They are also easier to grip and more gentle on your hands.
Now you might be asking, “Well how can I incorporate these dumbbells into my exercise routine?” Here are some tips:
- If you work all day sitting at a computer, you may want to take out these weights and just take a five minute break; raise and lower your arms at the elbow, using the 5 lb. weights.
- You can also hold a weight in each hand with arms outstretched, then slowly raise and lower your arms about ten repetitions. These exercises will tone your arms.
- Another common exercise is to bend at the waist and with the weight in one hand, lift parallel to your waist.
