Two 3 kg dumbbells plus a band comes to around ₹2,500 if the dumbbells are sold singly, leaving room for a yoga mat from our yoga mat guide. Most beginners start with 3 to 4 kg per hand for upper body and use bands for glutes and legs, then increase as it gets easy.
A simple three-day routine
- Day 1 (lower): goblet squats, reverse lunges and banded glute bridges, 3 sets of 10 to 12.
- Day 2 (upper): dumbbell rows, shoulder presses and band pull-aparts, 3 sets of 10 to 12.
- Day 3 (full body): deadlift to row, push-ups and banded side steps, 3 sets of 8 to 12.
Rest a day between sessions and add a repetition or two each week. When 12 clean reps start to feel easy, move to a heavier dumbbell or a stronger band. If you want a plan around the festive season, see our 4-week post-Diwali plan.
Safety basics
Start light, keep your back neutral, and stop if anything hurts. Check bands for nicks before each use, since a damaged band can snap. This article is general information and not medical advice; if you have an injury or health condition, speak to a doctor or qualified trainer first.
