What dumbbell weight is best for beginners?
If you're new to doing dumbbell workouts, it's worth starting with a lower weight - around 2.5kg for upper body and 5kg for lower body exercises. From here, you can work out what feels comfortable for you and increase the weight as you get stronger.
It's important to start with a weight that feels comfortable, but gets harder to lift as you do more reps. That way, you know it's challenging your muscles but you're less likely to injure yourself with a weight that's too heavy.
Equal to weight though is form. It's just as important to get the right form when you're working out at home so follow videos online for tips, or seek help from a certified personal trainer.
