How can I begin training with dumbbells?
Before starting any exercise routine, make sure to stretch and hydrate properly. Only use a weight that you know you can use safely and properly to avoid injury. Make sure that the surrounding area is clear of any objects so that you don’t fall or accidentally hit them. Beginners should start with a lightweight for their exercises until they improve their form and increase their strength. They should also try to do 2-3 exercises for each muscle group and see which ones feel the best, then slowly branch out to newer, more difficult movements. See our section on sample workouts if you’re not sure where to start. If at any point during your training, you feel weak or nauseous, you should stop immediately and consult with your doctor to modify your dumbbell workout routine. Going slowly and carefully, with patience and proper technique, is the best way to begin working out with dumbbells to ensure safe and satisfying results.
