Woodall's Fitness has all the tools you might need for the body you want. If you check out the fitness studio tour, you will see various pieces of equipment for almost any exercise. Equipment to work chest, arms, legs, abs and every other combination. But not all of this equipment is so sophisticated. For example...

Dumbells! Dumbells have been and continue to be a mainstay in many exercise routines. Adaptable to a number of exercise situations and routines, James demonstrates one dumbell exercise here.

Isolation is the key. Using dumbells forces isolation of the muscle group. Each side is forced to carry it's own weight. In a traditional barbell bench press, having one arm stronger than the other can lead to a "cheat" by allowing the stronger side to assist the weaker side. When each side has to handle it's own weight, there's no cheat. This leads to a more evenly developed and balanced physique. Integrate dumbells into your routine for curls, bent rows, presses, shrugs, lateral raises - you can use them in almost any situation.

Dumbells are great for continuing your workout at home. Dumbells are a very inexpensive way to expand your routine. The most familiar are the single weight dumbells. But in a home environment, having all the weights you need can take a lot of space. The dumbells as pictured here with James *are* the high tech type. By rotating a selector, you can have any weight you need at the ready - and it only takes one set of dumbells to do it!
