What size dumbells should a woman use?

Really depends on your fitness level and health conditions. I'm 5'3", 113lbs, 14% bf, consider myself healthy, and go to the gym to lift on a regular basis. I played with 8's in the beginning and eventually 12's and for some exercises used bigger dumbbells. They give me a good sweat. I go at the same pace as the ppl working out in RushFit.My mom, however, has barely lifted weights in her life. She has fibromyalgia and other health conditions. Therefore she can only do some of the RushFit exercises, at slower paces, and for those she uses 3-4lb dumbbells, breaks a huge sweat.

I bought 5's and 10's. I started with the 5's and after about 4 weeks moved to the 10's.

I use 5lbs, 8lbs and 10lbs depending on the exercise. Of course as you get stronger increase the weight.

depends on where your strength level is, anywhere from 5 - 15. I jump between 8-15 lbs depending on the exercise. On plyo days there is no reason for me to use more than 10 lbs at the moment. As you progress you will need more weight. Also, lifting heavy at some point does NOT mean you'll get a super muscley body builder body. You're a woman, it doesn't work that way. You will be toned. That's the goal anyway.

Hard question to answer-depends on your fitness level-did you try what the woman in the dvd is using

The female on the DVD uses 5-10 lb weights. GPS uses 15-25 lbs depending on the exercise. I use 5-10lbs.

I would say start with about 5 lbs. Most of the Dvds are about repetitions to build endurance, shape body, and burn fat.

Only 1 dumbell in the 52.5 lb set. If you want 2 dumbells of this weight consider the 105lb package.

I would say this depends on how tight you want the curls to be. I have a one inch barrel, but my hair is quite short. For longer hair, I would say a 1 1/2 inch or 2 inch would be better.

Go to Tommie Copper. com they have a measuring guid that will tell you. Make sure to get the right one for ladies.

I concur. Use the O'Neil chart. If you are between their specs I'd buy up in size, especially with a shorty. The legs ride up and crush the twig and berries.

The price listed is for 1 dumbell. So you pay twice the listed amount for a pair. These are top quality dumbells and worth the money if it is within your budget.

I am traveling so I am not able to measure it. It is plenty of room for my hand, I am guessing 4 inches. Nice quality dumbbells for sure!

1.75". I do not recommend this type anyways. Try to find one that has a double are or a longer one to support your bar (the metal part that sticks out horizontal that you place your curl bar on). This set makes for a balancing act every time you need to add or take off weights. It's good for the money, but try to find a comparable setup, just a suggestion

I have womens small/medium hand. They fit fine. Not snug but not too loose.

I recommend the medium size...if not try the small size. There is a website that they recommend one size the website is www.#versagripps.con

About 16". Plenty long enough to hold 100 lbs per dumbell. They are a very good set.

I would go with something bigger, they are not very easy to keep in if your kegels are weak. Mine were weak so I also purchased the High Quality Smart Duotone Ben Wa Ball Weighted Female Vaginal Tight Exercise...they are attached and have a string but also stay in better. Then you can switch to the smaller ones.

Average Woman. You can probably tighten them up yourself if you want them to fit kids.

Based on what I have been told by my local bike shop, the usual problem with finding the right size bike for a woman is the length from the seat to the handle bars. Which can usually be changed by using a shorter (front to back) handle bar post/holder(?). (horizontal part at the top of the stem) You might want to ask your local shop if they carry those and can install one for you. if you have longer arms that it shouldn't be an issue, if you are very short/ have a short reach you might want to take the measurements and find a similar sized one and see if it fits you. Most bike shops are very happy to have you check out their bikes, even if you're not buying. This really is a great bike for the price. Hope that helps.

I would get a larger pair of plyers. A 6 or 8 inch pair would do the job best.

I am 140 lbs and it is enough for me. For comparison when I am in the gym I do flat bench dumbell presses with 55lbs for 4 sets of 8 to 10. I use about 130lbs of the stack to accomplish the same thing. Hope that helps and provides some reference point.

I use small on 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 legs and they fit tightly. You could probably use small or extra small.
