I originally had some plate dumbbells that screwed on, but it was such a pain in the ass to change them.
I eventually used the core home fitness dumbbells for about a year before upgrading to the Nuobell dumbbells.
My healthcare plan reimbursed me for most of the cost, which was very nice.
Yea, I would agree with that.
You could even get away with not knowing much anatomy if you can find a good routine and make sure your form is right. At least I feel that’s how I’ve gotten as far as I have.
The hardest part for me with working out at home is getting heavier weights. They get real expensive real fast and take up more and more room.
I assume there’s some kind of social aspect to going to a gym as well. I have no idea because I prefer the opposite, lol.
Run on a treadmill and lift some weights?
Yup.
Gym memberships are insanely expensive. Are home workouts actually effective?
They can be. Depends in your goals and all that. Home gyms require space and money up front.
I’ve been following this routine for a while at home. It’s been pretty good. I initially started with their 3 day a week dumbbell exercises.

I’ve also probably spent over $1.5k on a quality bench and adjustable dumbbells. A far cry from what you can use at a gym, but it’s good enough for me.
You can probably buy some cheap weights to start out and then move on from there.
Also, don’t expect immediate results. Give it a solid 3 months.
Think of the default model that appears in character creators.
