Review on Non-Slip Neoprene Coated Professional Dumbbells By Bintiva - High-Grade Performer For Effective Workouts by Oliver Phelps

Nearly every exercise regiment requires the use of some kind of weight or at least a way to increase the intensity of the workout after you have been doing it for a while. The exercise program that I keep trying to do and then have to stop because I miss days in the sequence uses small dumbbells. The program, which I reviewed, is called Fé Fit. I have done the first DVD multiple times now and when I first started doing it, I used drills in place of the weights that the program called for. We happened to have two drills that weighed approximately the same. I will say that they were a bit too heavy for just starting out. They weigh around 5 lbs each, but when you haven't exercised a lot recently, you should use a light weight. For this reason I went looking for 2 lbs weights. I need enough to feel like I actually have something in my hands, but not so heavy that I will be sore afterwards since I have two kids that I have to carry around all the time. Bintiva has provided me with two 2 lbs Neoprene Dumbbells in exchange for my honest opinion. I have received no other compensation for this review.These dumbbells are professional grade and coated with neoprene to give it a no-slip covering. They have weights weighing 1 lbs, 2 lbs, 3 lbs, 5 lbs, 7 lbs, 8 lbs, and 10 lbs. Each is color coated so if you get more than one pair, you will easily be able to identify which weights you are picking up. The ends are hexagonal in shape to help keep them from rolling around on you, and they come with a 100% manufacturer's warranty. While using them in my Fé Fit workout, the no-slip was definitely tested. One of the workouts is to place the weight in the crook behind the knee and hold it there while doing leg lifts. For me, my knees sweat a ton. Holding something behind them can be quite difficult. When I used the drills, they fell out. Granted the center of mass on the drill is not optimal for this exercise. The dumbbells were definitely better suited and held firmly. No slipping here! They are comfortable to hold. They are easy to tell that they are 2 lbs.They are excellent weights. I'm wishing I had a full set so that when I do other exercises that I am capable of using more weight, I could actually have them on hand. They will probably be an addition to my workouts in the future though. Please don't judge me too harshly in the video when I am using the weight.
