[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those women who lift at home, what amount of weight is considered heavy enough to give the health and strength benefits? I only have dumbbells (heaviest is 12 lb set) and kettlebells (heaviest is 35 lb). My heaviest weights are very challenging for me and I follow a YouTube trainer, no interest in returning to a gym, and i don’t have the space for bigger pieces of equipment or a real weight room setup. Thanks![/quote] I’m curious too. At home, the heaviest set I have is 15 pounds. I have a single 18 pound dumbbell. When I was going to the gym, I used 20 and 25 pound dumbbells for some of the lower body work. But I’m pretty small (5’3”l, 120) and just handling, holding that weight is challenging for me. Even though I feel like I could be using heavier weights for my legs, I don’t think my hands and arms can handle much more! I guess the answer would be to use machines for lower body, but I’m sticking with home exercise for now.[/quote]
