Adjustable dumbbells come in all shapes and sizes and a wide range of budgets. Choosing one that fits your needs, preferences, and budget without losing durability can be challenging. Many of our top picks for dumbbells are very durable but expensive, or may not withstand repeated drops. It can be tough to find a pair that’s both easy to use and strong enough for the toughest workouts.

For our Eisenlink Adjustable Dumbbell review, we explain everything you need to know about one of the more popular budget-friendly options to hit the market. We’ll also examine the adjustment mechanism, pros and cons, and durability, and let you know whether these dumbbells are a great deal or too good to be true.

Best Vegan Protein Powder

One of our favorite pastimes is dispelling old wives’ tales. For example, you can swim right after eating food, it’s not taboo to rub your chopsticks together at a sushi restaurant, and you can build muscle on a vegan diet. You can disagree all you want, but there are countless athletes and everyday people who thrive without meat or milk.

Our team of experts has personally tested more than 90 of the best protein powder supplements on the market and researched dozens more to help those living a plant-based lifestyle, lactose-intolerant gym-goers, or those just looking to shake up their diet.

When it comes specifically to vegan proteins, we looked at factors like:

• Protein source

• Formulation

• Transparency

We also ran tests for solubility and judged how the powder tasted. Then we worked with Laila Ouldibbat, R.D., and Sydney Lappe, R.D., to examine the amino acid profile and other ingredients of each powder on this list to determine the best vegan protein powder. You’ll want to see what we found.

The Benefits of Boxing

There are countless ways to break a sweat and get in a great workout. One of the more interesting trends we’ve seen in recent years is the rise of boxing as a HIIT workout.

We’re not talking about combat boxing, which has always been popular, but boxing for fitness. More gyms are offering boxing and kickboxing for cardio classes, and I’ve even started to see boxing clubs open—not for those who want to fight, but for those looking to improve their health.

Should you ditch your gym membership (or leave your garage gym) to join a boxing club, or is this just another trend? We asked a certified fitness coach (and someone who’s spent years training in a variety of martial arts) to share the most important health benefits of boxing and explain how to get started if you want to give it a try.
