Best HomeWorkout Equipment
It’s certain that since the pandemic started on early 2020, home workouts whether DIY or through various online channels have gained popularity all over the world. Since the first Philippine lockdown on March 2020, home workouts became a trend due to lack of flexibility of driving out to your neighborhood gym or studio, combined with the motivation to stay healthy amidst what’s going on today. The stress in the air, combined with a lack of mobility caused many to be lethargic, gain unwanted weight, and lose physical strength and energy. While access to home workouts are plentiful through various channels, there was an initial lack to access in ordering home equipment on March 2020. That was quickly solved by local sport houses and equipment providers - who now deliver ordered equipment like you’re ordering Grab Food, literally! However, most do not have infinite space at home or pockets to invest at a “full home equipment.” Thus, the quest for the the “perfect home workout equipment” - Is there such a thing? We asked Coach Paolo Cabalfin of Your Daily Dose, what the most versatile home workout equipment is and here’s what we gather. Coach Paolo Cabalfin, has been in the Nutrition, Fitness and Sports Performance industry for the last 9years. The Co founder of Your Daily Dose Philippines, describes the YDD home workouts:

Him: Curl to Press, Her: Flys
Equipment
Coach Paolo gives his top and alternative picks for usage. Equipment wise, we compare easily movable and most commonly used home equipment available in the market based on according movements.
Shoulder and Arm Movements
Olympic Bar with weights wins top pick for Curl and Press due to the stability and even weight distribution + range of motion that a straight bar provides while doing the movements.
YBell being the top pick for Flys and Side Raise due to its handle / grip that help the proper muscles fire at correct range of motion.
Leg Movements
As Lower Body / Leg Strength is often stronger with the average human, the Weighted Olympic Bar becomes top pick for Squats and Deadlifts. This gives the ability to easily increase loads of weight for both movements.
Lunges on the other hand need free weight load ability for both hands making Dumbbells and YBells the two preferred pieces equipment.
Power Movements
Kettlebell being specifically designed for Swings and similar movements like Snatch - of course warrants the no.1 spot
YBELL grabs second place for being designed as 2 in 1 - Dumbbell and Kettlebell in one.
The Verdict
While personal preference of course needs to be factored in, we rank the equipment according to the following factors in getting to the bottom of the question: is there a perfect home workout equipment all things considered?
Design, Storage, Cost and Overall Versatility considered: we give two thumbs up in making Dumbbells your home workout staple. The Dumbbell weight variation in increments makes it flexible for all levels, not to mention the availability of the equipment almost anywhere having very economical spend. However, If willing to invest more on an “ergonomic” versatile, and travel convenient piece: we also recommend the YBELL for its form and function.
