What type of weights should I use?

Incorporating weights into your routine can help you take your workout to the next level. Can’t tell your dumbbells from your kettlebells? We’ve got you covered:

• Dumbbells – Suitable for a range of exercises, dumbbells come in both fixed and adjustable options, which allows you to customise the weight to suit you.
• Kettlebells – Ideal for dynamic movements and full-body workouts, kettlebells engage multiple muscle groups simultaneously.
• Weight Plates – Used with barbells, weight machines, or on their own, weight plates offer you the flexibility to easily adjust your load to build or maintain muscle.
• Barbells – Available in various lengths and weights, barbells allow you to perform compound exercises that target major muscle groups.

How do I choose weights for my home gym?

From fitness goals to price point, choosing the right weights for your home gym involves considering several key factors. Whether you want to increase strength, improve endurance, or grow muscle, you should tailor your weights to your fitness goals, experience level, and the kind of exercises you’ll be doing. Beginners may prefer to opt for lighter weights, ideal for core and upper body exercises. If you're engaging in full-body movements like rows or weighted lunges, medium weights can provide more of a challenge. Exercises that target large muscle groups, such as deadlifts or squats, require heavier weights, which offer the resistance needed for building strength.

How do I incorporate weight training into my routine?

If your workouts consist of squatting, thrusting, and lunging, investing in kettlebells might just be the addition you need to start seeing results. Power up your workout with a set of small weights like hand weights and burn hundreds more calories per session. Strap ankle weights to your legs next time you attempt pull-ups and watch your six-pack appear in half the time! Already mastered the art of bench pressing and deadlifting? You'll find fitness benches and weights for sale at Harvey Norman that you can slip onto your barbell to help you smash those goals.
