TIPS FOR USING YOUR DUMBBELL
EXERCISE TIPS
• We recommend beginning with the lowest weight, 2.5 pounds.
• Increase the amount you lift slowly over a few weeks.
• Use the PowerFlow dumbbell every other day to allow your muscles sufficient
time to recover from your workout.
• Always warm up before beginning a workout. It is especially important to
warm up the specific muscle groups you will be working during your strength
training session.
• Use proper form. Focus on only working the muscle groups intended for the
exercise you are performing. If there is strain elsewhere, you may need to re-
evaluate the amount of weight that is involved with the lift. Keeping proper
form also includes maintaining control through the entire range of motion.
• Breathe properly. Exhale as you are lifting, inhale as you return to the starting
position. Never hold your breath during any part of an exercise.
• Always wear appropriate clothing and shoes when exercising. Wearing
comfortable athletic shoes with good support and loose fitting, breathable
clothing will reduce the risk of injury.
SAFETY TIPS
• Before lifting a dumbbell, always ensure the weight is set to the desired
weight load.
• Exercise sensibly, and do not overload, especially on your initial workouts.
• Always ensure that you use the same weight settings on both sides of the
dumbbell.
• Only adjust the weight of the dumbbell when it is in the rack. Never adjust the
weight while the dumbbell is in use.
• Do not force the black weight adjustment slider to move.
• Always return the weights to the lightest settings after each workout to
avoid future injury.
• You may wish to place the rack and PowerFlow dumbbell on a sturdy table or
shelf instead of on the ground to avoid repetitive bending.
• You may wish to wear weight lifting gloves to prevent hand chafing,
blistering, and callouses.
