Bowflex is one of the most well known brands in the home fitness industry. Originally put on the map for the all-in-one strength training machine which was first designed by an engineering student, the company was officially launched in 1986. Since then, the company was bought out by Nautilus and now puts out several bestselling home fitness products including the TreadClimber, Bowflex Home Gym, and the Stairmaster. One of the newer offerings from the brand is the Bowflex 552 Dumbbell.
When you use the Bowflex 552 Dumbbells you won't have a use for any other dumbbell! Rather than having a whole collection of weights, you can now replace them all with this one set of dumbbells which is the equivalent to 15 individual dumbbells! The simple dial design allows you to change from one weight to another with a fast dial change. You can go from 5 pounds up to 52.5 pounds in one swift movement, which makes rotating between movements and sets extremely efficient. This also means you can share the dumbbells with someone else, rotating between their required weight and yours quickly. Get rid of all your other dumbbells and save tons of space by bringing this one product into your home gym!
Yet, if saving space isn't your main concern then there are some reasons you may prefer standard set of dumbbells over the Bowflex 552 dumbbell set. If you thought that combining a full set of sixteen dumbbells into one product would make it rather heavy and difficult to handle, you are right. These dumbbells do have more bulk and can be more difficult for some users to operate, but that is a fact that comes with the innovative design. Since the retail price for this set of dumbbells is about equal with what you will pay for any other high quality dumbbell set, you should only go with this bulkier product if the space saving design appeals to you or you want something bulkier and heavier.
Before you purchase the Bowflex 552 dumbbells, try to get your hands on a real set and try them out first. This is the only way to know whether you are going to be bothered by the extra bulk of the design or not. While many consumers find that the price is reasonable for the unique design and the bulk is not a big issue, others find that they do not have accurate body alignment due to the bulk and their workouts suffer as a result. The only way to know for sure whether you can handle this design and benefit from the space saving design is to hold them and test it out firsthand.
Following will be some basic tips on using the Bowflex 552 dumbbells effectively, though you will still need to read the instructions cover to cover if you decide to make this purchase. Let's end with some tips which will give you some insight into how to use this product to its full potential.
No strength training workout is going to be effective without consistency. You have to start at a weight limit that is comfortable for your current level of fitness and strength and gradually increase to the higher weight limits as you improve. There is an effective workout plan that comes with the Bowflex 552 dumbbell purchase, or you can use them for your own workouts. The trick is to stick with the weight that benefits your body and only move up to higher weights when your body is ready for it. That is how you make the most effective use of this unique product.
