How much weight should you use?
The weight depends on the exercise or your level.
If you're just starting out, opt for the 1 kg model: build your strength gradually and go easy on your joints. Those who work out regularly can go for the 2 kg model. If you have any doubts, start with a lower weight to make sure your movements are precise, controlled and effective to avoid injury.
Use heavier weights when working the thighs and glutes. Divide the weight in half for the upper body.

Static or dynamic?
When training, your poses can be dynamic or static.
During dynamic exercises, we recommend using the wrist and ankle weights. With these practical, flexible weights, you can do hip extensions without worrying about the weight as it's already on your ankle.
For so-called static exercises, such as squats, dumbbells are recommended. They are easy to grip which will help you stay balanced
