4. Training Recommendations

Warm-up: 5-10 minutes of aerobic exercise (e.g., jumping rope, jogging) and dynamic stretching before training.

Number of sets and reps: Do 3-4 sets of each movement, 8-12 reps per set, adjust according to your ability.

Rest periods: Rest 30-60 seconds between sets.

Progressive Overload: Gradually increase weight or reps each week to ensure continued muscle growth.

Total Body Training: Schedule 2-3 times of total body training per week, or split the training into parts (e.g. one day for upper body, one day for lower body).

5. Precautions

Movement standardization: Ensure correct posture in each movement, avoid borrowing force or excessive swinging.

Breathing control: Exhale when exerting force and inhale when relaxing, avoid holding your breath.

Avoid over-training: Rest for at least 48 hours after training the same muscle group.

Choose the right weight: the weight should allow you to feel the strain in the last few movements, but still be able to maintain the correct posture.

With the above dumbbell training moves, you can fully exercise all parts of your body muscles and improve your strength, endurance and body shape. If you are a beginner, it is recommended to start training under the guidance of a coach to ensure that the movements are standardized and safe!
