The Best Hex Dumbbells Are Coated

Rubber coated dumbbells provide workout without tearing up the floor

The best hex dumbbells solve the problem most commonly associated with round dumbbells and free weights. They are round, so the roll. You get done using them and set them down on the floor. Immediately they take off rolling across the floor. The hexagonal (eight-sided) dumbbell weight set solves that problem. They don’t roll. They stay where you put them. You will not be accidentally tripping over them because they rolled away.

Most of the best selling fixed weight dumbbell sets are made of cast iron or cast steel. The two ends and the handle are molded as one piece. The ends of the dumb-bells are as large as necessary to yield the desired weight. The problem with this cast iron material is that it is heavy. The hexagonal configuration has eight rather semi-sharp edges. The sharp edges of the weights can cause marks on wooden floors, chip or mar concrete floors and damage other types of floor coverings.

An additional disadvantage to this type of hex dumbbell is that they are noisy. The cast iron clangs when it comes into contact with other metal objects and resounds with a loud thud when it comes into contact with wooden or other flooring materials. Better designed hexagonal dumb-bells have solved the problems of marring floors and excessive noise by coating the weight set with rubber. The coatings help protect floors and serve to muffle the sounds of the dumbbells contacting one another or the floor.

Hexagonal Dumbbells Are A Simple And Inexpensive Design

It is easy to tie a lot of money if you want the best exercise equipment. Exercise bikes, treadmills, elliptical trainers, free weights and other home exercise equipment each cost from several hundred to several thousand dollars. Not so with hex dumbbells. Depending upon the weight set and the number of sets included in the package, you can have an assortment of hexagonal weights for only a few dollars per set. Kits or packages are often put together with progressively heavier sets, allowing you the specific weight you need for the targeted muscle group exercise.

A set may have from two to 10 pairs of dumb-bells of various weights in them. Buying hexagonal weights in multiple pair sets is a great way to save money. These sets are often priced so each pair costs less than buying the individual pairs separately. There are a number of excellent online sources for the best deals. You can shop for the best deal from the privacy and convenience of your own home. Within a few days you can have your hex dumbbells delivered to your front door at a fraction of the cost of buying them at a health center or sporting goods store.
