£20.00 from tesco's This is a great product if you are looking to tone your body or are a complete beginner.
Using these weights you can tone every major muscle and for those ladies out there who are worried about building muscle, with only 9Kg per dumbell there isnt really enough weight to do this.
To make sure all you need to do is lift a weight that you can complete 15 repetitions of for 3 sets, ideally feeling hard for the final 3 reps of each set.
If you are looking to build muscle then you need to be working at a much higher intensity whereby you couldnt really lift the weights more than 8 times per set.
The only problem with this equipment is that you will need some gloves to stop your hands becoming sore as being metal they are quite harse, also you dont want hard skin developing on your hands.
As i said earlier, you can work every major muscle with thee weights and here are some example exercises to show this:
Arms -
Bicep curls - for the front of the arms Tricep extensions - for the back of the arms
Chest -
Chest Press - overall chest area Pec Flyes - to help shape the chest
Shoulders -
Shoulder press - overall shoulder area Front raise, lateral raise, reverse fly - specific shoulder areas
Back
Single arm rows - Lats Upright Row - Tapezius
Legs -
Lunges whilst holding the weights Squats whilst holding the weights Calf raises whilst holding the weights
There is a good variety of weight that can be used to cater for specific muscle groups as this set comes with 4x 0.5kg cast ironplates 4x 1.5kg cast iron plates 4x 2.0kg cast iron plates 2 chrome dumbbell bars (14 inches in length). 4x chrome collars.
Also as the collars are spin locking they are very safe and secure
I wouldnt recommend these for anyone wishing to build strength as they be too light straight away or you will grow out of them very quickly.
Tips -
When you are working out make sure you are thoroughly warmed up and have strecthed the muscle you are intending to use. Make sure you dont work the same muscles 2 days in a row as your muscles need time to recover from workouts to get the maximum benefit.
