How many pounds is good for beginner weight lifting?!


Question: How many pounds is good for beginner weight lifting.?
I want to add a little weight lifting to my exercise routine and some resistance training to tone and lose more fat. I walk 30 min 4 times a week. I dont have time to really go to a gym bc I work and go to school. I am 5'5 160.

So how many pounds do I need, or should I get.? Per dumbbell.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
well if your a guy, you should have stated, i would go with 20lbs ea. Preferably rise in intervals of 5lbs. The time you walk shouldn't make a really big difference unless your doing squats, or other exercises of that sort, but for arm curls, i dont think so. Preferably u curl one arm at a time, while still holding the other dumbbell in your other hand. You're less likely to bend ur back.

Ahh srry about that, idk how much you should start with if your a girl. I had a female friend who couldnt even bench press the 45lb bar while i was doing 135lbs lol. I had been working out before and was in better shape but still. I'd say just go to the store and try some out. Maybe 15lbs.?Health Question & Answer
