Free Weights & workouts go hand-in-hand, and one of the best weights to use for your daily exercise, are the good old classic dumbbells. At Stronger Wellness we prefer the Rubber Hex Dumbbell Set, a favorite for Gyms, HIIT studios, CrossFit Boxes, and Homes all over the world, So which one should you choose? The 1kg, 3kg, the 7kg, 15kg or the 30Kg dumbbell set ? How much is too much, and what is right for you?
The size of the Hex you use depends on how much prior experience you have with working out and free weights. If you have experience using dumbbells before, arguably you can choose any weight/size you prefer, but maybe think about what is your goal first and what program will you be doing to get there.
Now, if you are new to workouts and strength training, we recommend that you start low with 3kg dumbbells, 4kg dumbbells or even 5kg. Then you can gradually progress to 7kg, dumbbells, and 10kg dumbbell once your body is ready. Remember, those lighter weights will always be handy as you can use them for different exercise styles as you progress.
