I just need some help choosing the right weight of dumbbells. I can't remember what I used to do at the gym. I could either get a set of:
0.5, 1, 1.5 kg or
1.5, 3, 5kg
I'm going to be using them for my arms and doing squats and lunges. thanks

0.5 to 1.5 is pretty much nothing. May as well use a bag of sugar.
Instead of getting dumbells that are a fixed weight what about getting the ones where you can add weight on with the weight disks
I would suggest something like http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/9003132/c_1/1|category_root|Sports+and+leisure|14419152/c_2/2|cat_14419152|Home+gym+equipment|14419293/c_3/3|cat_14419293|Weights+and+dumbbells|14419310.htm
there are other more expensive ones there, but with metal handles, which I don't find as comfortable to use if you don't use lifting gloves.
