The appropriate weight of dumbbells for a female depends on several factors, including experience, fitness level, and the specific exercise being performed. Here are some general guidelines from the search results:
- For total beginners, who have only ever trained at home with no guidance from a personal trainer, it is recommended to start with weights anywhere from 2kg-6kg.
- For beginner women who are new to weightlifting, aim to lift dumbbells ranging between 3 and 10 pounds (1.4-4.5 kg), 12 to 15 times.
- For women who havent worked out in a long time or have done sports in the past, it is recommended to have a range of dumbbells from 3lbs to 25lbs (1.4-11.3 kg) .
- For intermediate to advanced women, it is recommended to get a set of 3-25lb (1.4-11.3 kg) dumbbells (as a beginner would) and then buy a couple pairs of heavier dumbbells. Get a 30lb and a 40lb pair of dumbbells for certain big lifts like squats and deadlifts.
- Starting with dumbbells as a woman, ideal weights vary based on experience and fitness level. Beginners can consider sizes like 5lb (2.3 kg), 10lb (4.5 kg), and 12lb (5.4 kg) .
It is important to note that these are general guidelines, and the appropriate weight for each individual may vary based on their specific fitness level and the exercise being performed. It is recommended to start with a weight that feels comfortable and gradually increase the weight as strength improves.
