To clarify, we are contrasting the benefits of weight lifting exercises you might do with a machine or resistance bands to exercises you would do with free weight like barbells or dumbbells.

1) Free weights, especially with dumbbells, offer greater variety than machines. Most machines allow one or two movements. These movements are only permitted within a restricted range of motion. On the other hand, free-weights can be used in ranges of motion that specifically focuses on the exerciser.

2) Exercising with free-weights increases the functionality of the exercises. That means that the effects of the exercise will generalize into the real-world. What you might do with free weights is similar to what you might do in everyday activities like squatting or lifting grocery bags or your son.

3) Benefits of free weight exercises include demands on balance and coordination. So, if you are involved in a sport or activity that requires balance and coordination, weight lifting exercises with dumbbells will improve balance. That is something machines can not do.

4) Related to balance advantage, free-weight training uses more muscles than a machine since you have to stabilize your body when you lift a dumbbell. That actually helps increase muscle growth as balance muscles also grow.

5) Practically, dumbbells take up much less space than most machine based exercise equipment. Especially valuable for city apartment dwellers.

6) Finally, there is cost. Several sets of dumbbells cost less than 10 times the amount you could spend on some hi-tech machine.
