You can keep some free weights under your bed for easy access, no gym required. 2. They allow you to work all muscles in all directions rather than restricting movement. I got into free weights when I finally decided to venture in my husbands garage gym (many years ago) after watching a fitness DVD that focussed on weight lifting. It really changed the way I thought about weight training. I think that there are really 2 main advantages of free weights over machines;

I enjoy the pretty colors, the satisfaction that I'm actually getting down to keeping fit, noticing how easy it is to do things that used to be harder, I love that energized blissful feeling that comes out of nowhere after training & I especially love that my dumbbells didn't cost me a lot :) Thanks for your comparison.

I think you went into great detail about the benefits and disadvantages of using free weights compared to weight lifting machines. I personally stick to machines for my weight training. I use dumbbells only for one exercise - to train the abs by holding the weight in one hand along the hip while leaning the body into the opposite direction. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Fitness-Chriss last blog post..<a href="http://www.fitnessguidelines.com/articles/run-run-runaway.html" rel="nofollow">Run, Run, Runaway …</a></em></abbr></em></abbr> Great article.
