Dumbbells
Dumbbells are the preferred method of lifting weights, as they are much more variable than other forms of weights. They are an essential piece of exercise equipment because they can directly work the different muscle groups.
Working different muscle groups will stimulate the muscle and the nervous system, helping to induce hypertrophy (making them grow bigger), and the recruitment of the nervous system trains it to be able to increase its power output (make you stronger). Lifting weights is a good way to increase functional strength in your everyday life, as well as making you look bigger and fuller, which is appealing to most people. This piece of exercise equipment can be used to work every muscle group, as they are very variable and different exercises can be performed with just them in order to hit every muscle evenly.
Sit-up bench
A sit-up bench is used to work the core. Working your core is very important, as you will use your core in just about everything in your life; therefore this is an essential piece of exercise equipment. You do use your core when lifting weights, however it is advisable to directly stimulate your core muscles through core exercises, which can better be performed using a sit-up bench.
In summary, exercise equipment is very in demand, and it is essential to have a treadmill or exercise bike to work your cardio system, dumbbells to work your muscle groups and a sit-up bench to work your core.
