Reddit mentions of PowerBlock Sport 24 Adjustable Dumbbell, 24 lbs (Pack of 2)

Pullup/Chinup Bar

Adjustable Dumbells Get these instead

Optional: Adjustable Bench

Total ~$320 after shipping. Can probably find cheaper stuff from other brands or on craigslist.

There isn't a muscle in you body you can't work with this setup.

EDIT: Didn't notice how light the dumbells were. Found a heavier and cheaper set.

I got the PowerBlock set and love them. Haven't had any issues, never had a weight slip off, and as long as you have a hard surface for them to rest on, the time it takes to change weights is trivial.

Meh, they are just weights without moving parts so as long as you don't go to Wal-Mart or something you should be alright. I would go with Powerblocks if I were going to buy a set for home.

Not sure how much you want to spend or how much weight you are considering, but these are some basic ones. There are some cons (read the reviews) but they are just stacks of weight plates...so ya, not much to review.

Craigslist will likely have some sweet deals if you want to go with traditional DBs.

Here is a Google Sheets of my 4 day workout I am doing if it helps:

Weights: Depending on where you are with lifting right now - these are the up to 24lb Power blocks:

or these are the 50lb version that can be expanded as you get stronger: http://a.co/e4WxgAW

I also purchased the stand for the weights to make life easier: http://a.co/1syQ1Rl

and this 5.1 bench: http://a.co/eSYlK2N

With this equipment, you can do basically the entire workouts on the sheet I made minus the dips which I bought another piece of equipment for because I love dips.

Don't know much about yoga but hope this might help

I have Power Blocks (3 to 24 lbs each dumbbell) and I've loved them! They are the only sport/exercise equipment that I've continuously used. I do a lot of Fitnessblender.com workouts, so having the ability to change weight quickly is important for me. I've had them for about 2 years and now I'm looking into buying some heavier, expandable ones.


I highly recommend them if you end up going adjustable. You may be able to find some on Craigslist.

These adjustable dumbbells would change my life more than anything else on my lists by helping me get fit. I just started a 90 workout program today and they would totally help.

EDIT

I just read through a bunch of the other entries...Please disregard mine.

>PowerBlocks Is this one good?

Ah, yeah, I KNOW I would not use a gym. Having good at-home options is key to get myself doing stuff! I ended up loving strength training so much I invested in some powerblocks which were a fraction of the cost of my elliptical and wayyyy more useful to me, but they're totally not necessary...just really nice. :)

Haven't seen this suggested yet, but consider doing P90X. All you need is some dumbells, an exercise mat (or your carpet), and a pullup bar.

You can get some cool dynamic weight dumbells to save space, although they are a bit expensive.

This pullup bar can be used on most door frames.

P90X gets some flack but it's great for improving overall fitness.

If the gym is 30 minutes away and you think you would use the dumbbells then yes I would recommend getting a set of dumbbells. You can watch videos in the background while working out or just split the time between working out and watching videos.

​

If money is not an issue I would suggest getting an adjustable pair, like the bowflexes or powerblocks. (not UAE links but just to show you what I'm referring to) I wish I had got them when I bought my dumbbells instead of the traditional ones with spinlock collars. They save so much time and space.

I know it doesn't look like it would be a good workout, but I have one of [these] (https://www.amazon.com/Stamina-InMotion-Compact-Strider-Cords/dp/B00BDMH10Q/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1485813098&sr=1-1&keywords=mini+elliptical+with+bands) in my office and you'd be shocked at how good of a workout it is! I got mine for under $100 from Dick's, with a coupon and free shipping.

You could also get on craigslist or local classifieds and see if anyone is selling a stationary bike for cheap. They don't take up a lot of space. Also, a good set of weights is great for HIIT. (I have this power block that i love, but it's a bit pricey.)
