haltér

Haltér is a term derived from the French word for "dumbbell." In the context of physical fitness, a haltér refers to a piece of free weight exercise equipment. It typically consists of a short bar with weights attached to each end. These weights can be fixed or adjustable, allowing users to change the overall resistance of the haltér. Haltérs come in various weights, from very light ones used for rehabilitation or high-repetition exercises to very heavy ones for strength training. They are versatile tools used for a wide range of exercises targeting different muscle groups, including biceps curls, shoulder presses, squats, and lunges. Their portability and ease of use make them a popular choice for home gyms as well as commercial fitness facilities. Haltérs are essential for developing muscular strength, endurance, and size, and are a fundamental component of many training programs.
