The essentials of practicing dumbbells:
1. Before practicing, choose a dumbbell of appropriate weight.
The purpose of the exercise is to increase muscle mass, and it is best to choose dumbbells with a load of 65% to 85%. For example, if the load that can be lifted each time is 10 kilograms, dumbbells weighing 6.5-8.5 kilograms should be chosen for exercise. Practice in 5-8 groups per day, with 6-12 movements per group. The movement speed should not be too fast, with an interval of 2-3 minutes between each group. If the load is too large or too small, and the interval time is too long or too short, the effect will not be good.
3. The purpose of practice is to lose weight. It is recommended to practice 15-25 times per group or even more, with an interval of 1-2 minutes between each group. If you find this kind of exercise boring, you can practice with your favorite music or follow the music to do dumbbell exercises.
