That is why there is no weight rating on this page, and why there cannot be one: the same dumbbell is easy at a gentle pace and genuinely hard at speed. Any number printed next to a buoyancy trainer is a number somebody invented.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also means this is not a substitute for a dumbbell on dry land.

That is a property of being in a pool, not something this dumbbell does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat the dumbbell adds is resistance for the upper body while you are in there. You will feel the work in whatever you are using to move it, mostly the arms and shoulders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are not going to tell you it treats anything. If you are recovering from an injury or an operation, aquatic exercise may well be part of your plan, but the plan should come from your physiotherapist or your doctor, and the movements and the pace should be theirs rather than ours.
