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
