John’s Answer:
I would choose dumbbells. This is because you can use them to do almost any exercise, and I could easily create a dumbbell based metabolic circuit to build muscle and burn fat. Hopefully, you will have a little fun with them too! Dumbbells are ideal for home and gym use and they are a must-have for any home gym.
