What size dumbbells to lose weight ?

[cherry1012]

Hi so I'm looking at starting weight training at home to lose weight and tone up. I'm going to buy some dumbells and I'm not sure what size to get to start with ! Can anyone help ? Thankyou

You should buy a variety of weights ranging from something you can barely curl with your arm to something you'd struggle to get over your head.

There are interchangeable/adjustable sets. These include the kind you add plates to as well as the sets that look like a block and you select the weight on a dial. The dialed ones go up to 32kg or so, but they're fairly expensive.

The point is, you want something heavy,that will challenge you as you grow into them.
