3kg Dumbbells

Discover 3kg (6.6lb) dumbbells at Net World Sports. Sold in pairs, they are available in coloured neoprene or classic chrome and feature sturdy construction with ergonomically designed handles for grip and comfort. Versatile and perfect for home workouts as well as studio classes and circuit training, 3kg dumbbells are great for high-repetition workouts or for adding weight to challenging exercises such as Bulgarian split squats. 3kg dumbbells can be considered heavy or light depending on the exercise. Holding a pair of 3kg dumbbells above your head whilst performing walking lunges, for example, is quite advanced, whereas a chest press with 3kg is considered relatively light. For isolation and toning exercises like lateral raises which tone the shoulders/deltoids, and reverse curls for the biceps and forearms, 3kg is a challenging weight for most people when the number of reps gets into double figures. Neoprene 3kg dumbbells offer a soft, non-slip grip that's more forgiving if dropped. Chrome dumbbells look great as part of a home gym or studio setup. The hardened chromed steel finish provides a pleasing aesthetic and an ultra-durable dumbbell.

3KG DUMBBELLS FAQs

Are 3kg dumbbells good for beginners?
Yes, 3kg dumbbells are one of the most popular starting weights for beginners. They are often used for upper body toning, shoulder work and rehab exercises - including the second phase of rotator cuff injury rehab. They also have a place in the dumbbell rack for advanced athletes and bodybuilders. For example, classic gym exercises including front raises, lateral raises and tricep kickbacks are a challenge for most people with a 3kg weight when the reps go into the higher ranges. In addition, exercises such as overhead lunges (holding dumbbells overhead whilst lunging), and burpees with dumbbells, and plank variations are taxing for even the fittest gym-goers. As your strength improves, 3kg dumbbells will also have a place in your routine for warm-ups and even some stretching exercises.
What exercises can I do with a pair of 3kg dumbbells?
3kg dumbbells are highly versatile and suit a wide range of exercises across the full body. Popular exercises done with 3kg dumbbells include shoulder presses, lateral raises, front raises, bicep curls, tricep kickbacks, weighted lunges, weighted squats, Russian twists and renegade rows. They're also ideal for circuit classes, aerobics and Pilates-style flows. Paired with a yoga mat and resistance bands, a set of 3kg dumbbells makes a compact and versatile home gym setup without requiring a huge amount of space or a big budget.
