Working out with Hex Dumbbells
Are you looking to get a quick workout in at home? Perhaps you travel a lot for work. Flex Fitness Equipment has the perfect piece of equipment for you. Hex dumbbells are one of the safest and most effective full-body tools for sculpting muscle and burning calories. Flex Fitness Equipment has a wide range of weights to challenge even the most physically fit people. The best part? They are of high quality and very durable.
So what is a hex dumbbell? If youâve been to a gym before, chances are youâve seen one of the two major types of dumbbells. Hex dumbbells are one of them and have six sides. The other dumbbell style is a pro-style dumbbell which is round. Whether you are a beginner or advanced exerciser, hex dumbbells are much safer because they do not roll away. Whether you are trying to perform an exercise on the floor with them or your home gym floor is a bit uneven, hex dumbbells will not roll away.
Looking for a full body workout you can complete in 20 minutes with just two hex dumbbells? Youâve come to the right place because we have the perfect one for you.

Full Body Workout
Directions:Â Â Perform these five exercises as a circuit with little to no rest in between. Complete 10 reps of each exercise unless otherwise noted. Perform three rounds of this circuit. Rest 2-3 minutes between each round.
Pushup w/Renegade Row â 10 reps (5 reps each arm)
This is an absolute barn-burner of an exercise. Start in a push-up position grasping both dumbbells with a neutral grip (palms facing one another). Perform a push-up and at the top, row one dumbbell off the floor, retracting your shoulder blade and flexing your elbow. Alternate rowing arms.
Squat
Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your arms extended at your sides. With your feet hip-width apart and toes pointed forward, squat down. To perform a squat, first initiate movement by pushing your hips back and then bending your knees. Go until your knees are at 90 degrees and then extend your legs back to the starting point.
Shoulder Press
Hold a dumbbell in each hand utilizing a neutral grip. Place them on your shoulders. Press both dumbbells overhead until your arms each full extension. Do not arch your back past its normal curvature.
Alternating Forward Lunges
Holding a dumbbell in each hand with your arms extended at your sides, lunge forward with one leg until your knee reaches a 90-degree angle. Push off with that lead leg until you reach the starting position. Alternate legs.
Hammer Curls
In a standing position, hold a dumbbell in each hand utilizing a neutral grip. Keeping a neutral grip throughout the exercise, curl both dumbbells until they reach shoulder level. Make sure the elbows are tucked into your sides and are stable throughout the exercise.
