Free Weights (Exercise)

Weights such as dumbbells and barbells that are not attached or tethered to a machine.

Free Weights (Fitness)

Free weights are often used without the constraint that machines offer. For example, in the standing position, the entire body supports the free weight, taxing a larger portion of the body's musculature than would a traditional machine. The movement of a free weight is constrained by the lifter rather than a machine, requiring muscles to work in stabilization as well as in motion. The lifting of free weights involves a more natural coordination of several muscle groups.

Free Weights (Spa)

Hand held dumbbells or barbells used to isolate and tone selected muscle groups.

Free Weights (Weight Loss)

Weights not attached to a machine nor driven by cables or chains. Barbells and dumbbells are examples of free weights
