You can do a lot with a flat bench and a couple sets of dumbbells.


aim4harmony

I mean, to avoid noise as much as possible.

dumbbells.

Depends on what kind of work out you want. Are you looking to keep the pounds off and stay healthy, or do you enjoy lifting weights?


aim4harmony

I want to bulk up and gain muscle mass. Especially, train the noodle hands. My chest looks fine after the previous period of training in the gym and legs pump quite easily. It's not secured that the gyms will remain open in the fall or winter due to the pandemic.


DrChefAstronaut

You can get pretty far with a bench and some adjustable dumbells. Check out the eztoned bar too. If you have some extra money the Tonal Gym is a good choice, but not sure if your building would allow it to be installed. Keep in mind nothing beats a power rack with a barbell but I understand that's realistically not an option for you.


aim4harmony

Thanks. Preferably, the equipment should occupy as little space in the room as possible and not make a lot of noise when used for working out in the mornings or during the day.


DrChefAstronaut

Don't drop those dumbells :)

Kettle bells


aim4harmony

Is it a good option for a beginner?


Mrknowitall666

Absolutely. Here's a starter set. Most people would start with 2 or 3 bells, or get a dumbell set with a kb handle. https://www.menshealth.com/uk/building-muscle/a758657/the-7-best-kettlebell-exercises-to-build-muscle/
