Good Evening, sir.
I am 53yrs now. Can I use 20 pounds weigh of dumble during exercise?
Ans: Good evening. Yes, you can use 20-pound dumbbells during exercise. However, avoid jumping and start gradually. Also, be mindful of your heart and blood pressure conditions. It's important to consult with your doctor before beginning any new exercise routine to ensure it's safe for your health. Here's a gradual regime to help you safely reach the goal of using 20-pound dumbbells. In Weeks 1-2, start with 5-pound dumbbells, exercising three times a week with 2 sets of 12-15 reps for bicep curls, shoulder press, tricep extensions, lateral raises, chest press, and bent-over rows. In Weeks 3-4, increase to 8-pound dumbbells and reduce reps to 10-12. For Weeks 5-6, use 12-pound dumbbells and do 3 sets of 8-10 reps. In Weeks 7-8, advance to 15-pound dumbbells with 3 sets of 6-8 reps. Finally, in Weeks 9-10, transition to 20-pound dumbbells with 3 sets of 6-8 reps. Warm-up with 5-10 minutes of light cardio and cool down with 5-10 minutes of stretching in each session. Wishing you the best
