 Dumbbells Dumbbells are made with a variety of materials. Vinyl or plastic coated dumbbells cost a bit more, but are easier to clean and do not flake like iron dumbbells. Iron dumbells are extremely durable and less expensive, but can chip and flake. There are also several dumbbells on the market that are "adjustable." They use some type of system that adds more weight to a bar. They are more expensive, but take up less space in a home gym. Shop for Dumbbells |
 Resistance Bands Resistance bands are portable, easy to store elastic bands of varying tension that are used for strength training. Shop for Resistance Bands |
 Exercise Balls Look for a heavy duty ball. If you are unfamiliar with using a stability ball, look for a ball that comes with an instructional video, wall chart or manual. Shop for Exercise Balls |
