This helps prevent overloading your muscles, as your body needs to acclimate to the weights first. Our vinyl dumbbells from 0.5kg to 5kg are perfect for this. They are also ideal for rehabilitation purposes and light exercises with high repetitions.

If you are a more experienced athlete, we recommend choosing a dumbbell starting from 5kg. If you also want to determine how heavy your training should be, our adjustable dumbbells are a good match. This dumbbell set comes with 4 plastic weights of 2.5kg and 4 weights of 1.5kg that can easily be attached to the dumbbell rod with screw closures. Of course, our hex dumbbells are also suitable for you, as they are available from 5kg and up.
