Choosing the right resistance level

Dumbbells, bands or paddles? A quick guide to matching tools to your goals.

Different tools load your muscles in different ways. Mixing them keeps training varied and balanced.

Buoyant dumbbells

Great all-rounders for upper-body pushing and pulling. The resistance comes from buoyancy, so they suit most levels.

Resistance bands & paddles

Bands add scalable tension for circuits and mobility. Paddles increase surface area to build pull strength and refine technique. Add them as you progress.
