3-pound dumbbell height

[k2mills]

In several of your videos, you have us place our heels or toes on a 3-pound dumbbell. What is the height? Is it comparable to a 2 x 4? (that's what I have been using instead)

TIA,

Not Cathe, but i use a 2x4 it is more stable for me...

I also use the 2x4 as my shoes are too wide to fit comfortably on my 3# weights

I'ne also found that a weight plate under each foot, such as 10# or 25#, is also a good substitute. The toe/heel doesn't need to be too high to get the effect.

Thanks for the ideas! The 2x4 or weight plate sound great.

My 3lb dumbells are round, and they tend to roll away from me while I've got my weight on them. Not safe! I've been using my 5lbs instead, but these are great ideas. Thank you!
