FAQs about Dumbbell Weight Loss WorkoutPlan
How heavy dumbbells should you use?
The weight of dumbbells depends on what kind of exercise you do and at what intensity. For example, you can squat with heavy dumbbells, but when you need lightweight dumbbells to perform squat to overhead press.
So it’s best to use dumbbells that are heavy enough for you to perform the suggested repetitions at a fast pace with maintaining good form.
Can you incorporate bodyweight exercises?
Yes! You can incorporate as many bodyweight exercises as you want, as long as you don’t feel burned out, and maintain proper form during each dumbbell exercise. Alternatively, you can do Crossfit bodyweight HIIT on other or alternate days to exercise efficiently.
Are dumbbells enough to lose weight?
Dumbbells are not enough for increasing weight loss but are a great piece of workout equipment for many reasons, such as they are free to use, and you can customize any exercise the way you want. For example, you can combine squat and overhead press and deadlift and upright row. You can also increase and decrease the intensity of dumbbell exercises, depending on what you want to achieve.
How long does it take to lose weight with dumbbells?
Your weight loss depends on multiple things, including macros, workout, sleeping pattern, and how well you keep your body hydrated. If you maintain all these things consistently, you’ll see decent results in three to four months.
