Plastic and Vinyl Dumbbells For Aerobic Exercise

Vinyl dumbbells and the plastic dumbbell are fixed weight (meaning you can’t adjust the weight of the dumbbell) that typically used for light weight exercises and aerobic workouts. These dumbbells are usually filled with cast iron or concrete, encased in a vinyl or plastic shell. The colors of the dumbbell typically vary to appeal to the female population, ranging from blue, pink and purple.

If you’re looking for aerobic dumbbells, you probably wouldn’t find them in the weight room of your health club. You would be hard pressed to find a 250lbs bodybuilder using a 1lb pink dumbbell in their workout routine.

However, you would find these dumbbells grouped together in a dumbbell stand in the aerobics room. These dumbbells are used to add resistance during the cardio classes. Although they’re very light weight, using these dumbbells during a 45 minute cardio class would make most bodybuilders tremble to their knees.

To add resistance to your aerobic workouts, try using a pair of vinyl or plastic coated dumbbells the next time you’re at the health club.
