Morning Queens,
Just thought I'd let you know that Aldi in the UK have dumbbells in today, 3 and 5kg. They are only £9 a set, which is soo much better than any others I've found during lockdown.
I'm excited to be starting the new year with some better weights, finally upgrading from my 2kg dumbbells!
Thanks Zoe! I got lucky over Christmas and Argos in Ireland had some back in stock! I got 2kg & 3kg, heavier ones were gone but these will get me started & are enough for me! Hopefully some left for any other queens looking 😊😊
@Aoife O’Neill the Argos near me haven't had any dumbbells at all since March, picked up 2kg ones in Aldi there because I already have 3s & 5s and I found I just needed a lighter set for higher reps! I find my 5kg ones are very big for holding sideways though so might still keep an eye out. They've been so hard to get since the start of quarantine 🤦🏻♀️
@Niamh Byrne think I just got lucky! Keep trying, hopefully back in stock soon! 😊
@Niamh Byrne I agree Niamh, my 5s are too awkward to hold one sideways, so I hold a 3 in each hand rather than one sideways. I'm on lookout for a kettlebell , missed the Lidl delivery yesterday
@Sinead Toal yeah my 5s are so big and I was raging Aldi didn't have any 5kg ones. Can't find them in Argos either but I'm going to keep a look out. They're fine if I have one in each hand but my hands are way too small to hold one sideways 😂 tried to do halo's with one once and it nearly flew across the room so I stick with my 3s for most of that kind of thing 😂
Ahh hopefully you'll both be able to find some 5s soon @Niamh Byrne @Sinead Toal. I was pretty surprised by how much harder 5s are than 2kg - that prob sounds a bit silly I know they are heavier, but I had to give up with them when I tried to use them during an old sweaty 7s every time Maeve used a heavier weight.
Searched aldi and lidl but all gone!! Guy in both said people were queing for them!!!
Got some on x fitness last night everywhere is so so expensive but got a barbell and 2 weights- 50kg in total and all removable weights for 45 with free shipping to Ireland!!
