Powerblock Dumbbells

Selecting Powerblock Dumbbells for Home Fitness

If you are like the many people who want to be able to work out at home, you may be frustrated by a lack of space. Powerblock dumbbells were created to help solve that problem; they work as adjustable dumbbells so you can effectively have the functionality of a set of free weights in a small package. Here is how to choose yours on eBay.

As you begin perusing Power Blocks for sale, one of the first things to consider is what size you want the dumbbells to be. While exact capacity will vary, common weights are 25 pounds, 45 pounds, and 50 pounds. As you shop, make sure you are looking at the capacity per dumbbell (and not for the total set).

If you are not sure what size you want, it may be helpful to know that you can often get a Powerblock expansion pack. These packs allow you to increase the weight capacity of your dumbbell set.

Another thing to consider when searching for Power Blocks for sale is whether to purchase a single dumbbell or a pair. Granted, when many people think about buying dumbbells, they picture buying a pair, but there are a few occasions that may mean it is ideal to only get one:

• If you need to replace one part of a dumbbell pair, this method is more cost-effective than replacing the entire pair.
• If you only do single-dumbbell exercises (like alternating curls, etc.).
• If you don't have a set workout regimen and want to try the Powerblock format before investing more.

As with most items offered on eBay, you can buy both new and used Powerblock dumbbells on eBay. Purchasing used may allow you to save some money. However, there are a few specific things to watch out for in order to ensure you get a safe, long-lasting set:

• Verify the condition of the dumbbells. Because you may be lifting these above your head, it's crucial to make sure that weights will not come undone and fall.
• Make sure there aren't missing parts. In order to get the most out of your used Powerblock set, you'll need to make sure all original weights are included.
• If you are combining them with Powerblocks you already have, make sure they are compatible, as different Powerblock types have different systems for adding weight.
