The dumbbell is most widely used and prominent piece of exercise equipment for home training. Dumbbells are pieces of equipment that can be used effectively by people of all ages. However, when using dumbbells it is difficult to obtain the proper form unless having received direct instruction from a professional trainer. And it is difficult to keep up with repetitive, routine exercise on your own. The smart dumbbell has an exercise volume function built-in and vibrates to alert the user when the set number of repetitions have been completed. It counts repetitions when a certain designated position has been attained, and it comes in a module form so it can adjust the weight to match the user's body. It takes the shape of a basic bolt motif and module weight nuts giving it the feeling of a "module dumbbell" where nuts are added to a bolt. The bolt&nut stands for adding to one's health and adding muscle, and the times stands for the increases that can be had the more modules are added. Also, when such bolts and nuts of the module are not in use, they can also be used as a home decoration.
