When you think about buying a set of cheap adjustable dumbbells, there are a handful of on the market to pick from.
For this article, we'll use cheap in reference to price only, not quality. So that in mind, let's take a look at a few of the best, cheap dumbbell sets.
Jillian Michaels Adjustable Speed Dumbbell Set
The Jillian Michaels dumbbell set is one of the more popular sets for inescapable reasons. Aesthetically they're pretty sharp, and they're real easy to use. They adjust by simply pulling up a pin-like mechanism and sliding it to the desired weight on each dumbbell. It's a 12.5 pound set, so it's a exquisite starter set for the someone who is not used to working out with dumbbells, like a teen or stay at home mom.
They also come in a 25 pound version which are sold individually. The Jillian Michaels dumbbells come with a plastic base which makes warehouse easy as you can simply slide them into the closet or in the corner.
25 Pound Adjustable Dumbbell Set by Xmark Fitness
Next, in this kind of cheap adjustable dumbbells, are Xmark Fitness dumbbells. While Xmark Fitness adjustable dumbbells don't have the name recognition of Jillian Michaeals, or even BowFlex, they're certainly a player in this category.
The weight range on this set is 5 to 25 pounds, and like the other adjustable weight dumbbells, you adjust the weight with a knob by pulling it up, and lively it to weight you'd like to use. In researching this set, safe and sturdy are a merge points that came up a few times. Since they're built solid, you don't have to worry about them falling apart on you, and you don't have to worry about the weights falling off while you're using them.
Finally, as with most dumbbells that adjust, they store nothing else but and don't take up much space.
40 Pound Dumbbell Set
One final set of cheap adjustable dumbbells would be the Cap Barbell 40-Pound Dumbbell Set. The one caveat with this set is that it's not "adjustable" in terms of a pin type system, or a dial type system. It's a smaller original dumbbell set. Since this is more original set, the weights are adjusted by unscrewing the nut that keeps the weights on the bar, adding or removing weight, then screwing the nut back on.
They're a 40 pound set, so they're an ideal starter set for someone just getting into working out. Guess being is that there is adequate weight to build a base as far as getting used to working out, and studying exercises, and since they're pretty inexpensive, they won't set you back much.
Ultimately the adjustable dumbbell set you pick will come down to your fitness/strength level and budget.
