A member asked:

Are 6kg dumbbell weights any good for beginners?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: If used in a program of graded increase in weights and generally good exercise, dumbell weights of various strengths can be helpful. You should exercise through stiff ness but not through pain. A good physical exercise counselor can help design a program depending upon your goals.
