Tips for Choosing a Dumbbell Weight
The weight of the dumbbells is very important since when buying them you will need it to be higher or lower depending on what you are going to use it for. The effectiveness of the exercises will be determined by the weight you lift, so to get the best results you should choose the most appropriate weight.
Dumbbells are essential tools if you want to train strength and tone your arms, among other parts of the body. A routine with them 3–4 days a week will be very positive for you.
Steps to choose the weight of the dumbbells
Have a list of the exercises you want to do with the dumbbells ready so you can try them out.
Take dumbbells with different weights to test the exercises you are going to do. If you do them with great agility, you will need more weight, while if it is difficult for you to do it you will need less.
One of the tests you can do to choose the dumbbell is to perform 10–15 lateral raises to see if that weight is good for you or not.
The weight you choose has to allow you to perform the exercise with a little effort but without causing an injury or an impossible mission.
If you have any doubts, it is always better to stay short with the weight of the dumbbells and increase as you gain strength.
It is very important that you keep in mind when choosing the weight of the dumbbells that a different one may be necessary for different exercises since not all require the same movements.
With the passage of time the weight will increase, something recommended also so that you do not always get stuck in it, since that would be negative for your training and progress.
