The general rule for choosing dumbbells is to use a smaller weight for training small muscles (triceps, biceps or shoulder muscles) and use a larger weight for working on the appearance and strength of the legs, chest and back. It's a good idea to buy a set consisting of several pairs of dumbbells with different weights or adjustable dumbbells. Dumbbell set If you're just starting to introduce extra weight into your training, opt for 0.5-5 kg dumbbells, which you can use successfully for arm, leg or chest training. A lighter load is advisable so that the muscles adapt to the weight and the risk of injury is minimised. Women can start with 0.5-1.5 kg dumbbells for arm training, and use 3 kg or larger dumbbells for back and leg training. A good option would be neoprene dumbbells, which are stable in the hand and don't slip. Have you been training for a while? Choose a set of dumbbells in which the weight changes by 1 or 2 kg. It will then be easier for you to progress the weight for specific exercises. Adjustable dumbbells Adjustable dumbbells are a set of two grips, clamps and plates of different weights. It's a great alternative if you don't have space for a rack with a set of dumbbells, but you want weights for exercising different body parts or if several people use the weights. Adjustable dumbbells can be modified by adding or removing weights from the bar. Kettlebells, weight waistcoats and ankle weights - how do I choose the right equipment for my requirements? Choosing the right weight depends on the type of training and the objective you want to achieve with it. For training that focuses on building endurance, a smaller weight with which you can do prolonged work of continuous or variable intensity is useful. The same is true for exercises targeting small muscles such as the triceps or biceps. In both cases, dumbbells are ideal. They will also work well for working on the chest and shoulders. On the other hand, you can successfully use kettlebells for buttocks or back exercises. Note that you need heavier weights for strength training. kettlebell Also called a kettlebell or cannonball with a handle (because of its appearance) is a weight shaped like a flattened ball with a handle at the top. The use of kettlebell is versatile - it helps increase strength, improve flexibility, motor skills and motor coordination, plus it is good for activating the deep muscles responsible for correct posture. The choice of kettlebell weight depends on your level of training. A good option may be an adjustable kettlebell, which, thanks to its adjustable load, is perfect for a home gym if you don't have space for a full set of weights or if several people are exercising at the same time. Weighted waistcoat A weighted waistcoat is a good substitute for free weights. It allows you to add variety to your workout, strengthen your muscle strength, boost your metabolism, as well as work on better fitness and performance. Its weight should depend on your form of exercise and level of training. When purchasing, pay attention to the cut (it should not restrict movement), the possibility of adjusting the length and weight, the material (sweat-resistant and not irritating to the skin), the system of inserts (allows you to adjust the weight of the waistcoat) and the filler (preferably loose or ball-shaped). Ankle and wrist weights Mostly chosen by women when working on sculpting thighs, buttocks and arms to intensify the effort and engage more muscles. Their weight should be selected to suit individual needs and the body part they will be used to strengthen. Ankle weights come in several weight variants - from 0.5 to even 5 kg. Wrist weights, on the other hand, are additionally equipped with a thumb lock, which prevents the weight from slipping off even during very intensive training. At Sportano, there is no shortage of a wide range of different weights such as dumbbells, kettlebells or weight waistcoats to help you achieve better results.
