Etymology

The term 'dumbbell' originated in England in the 18th century. The original design of the dumbbell consisted of a metal bar with two spheres or bells at each end. It was used by athletes and strongmen for weightlifting and strength training. Over time, the design evolved to the modern dumbbell we are familiar with today. Dumbbells have become a popular tool in fitness and exercise routines for building muscle and improving strength.
