What weight should I buy - female, 45 years old, average fitness, using for squats, etc.?

I bought the 36lb bar. I think it is light for squats (41 year old female) however that's the heaviest bar they had.

I have a 12,18, 24. I am male, almost 40. My main target when buying was for my shoulders. I love all of them! I use the 24 for my arms and shoulders, and it's a heavier 24 pounder that it sounds like! I can do lunges/squats with it as well. I also like my 18. It is almost the perfect all-around multi-use bar. Not too heavy, yet just stout enough to get toned-up nicely without hurting yourself! I like incorporating this bar into some sit-ups also. Great toning bar I like my 12 to take for a walk around the block and use it similar to an aerobic-class device. Great for sculpting arms, shoulders and abs as I walk the dog. For you, try something in the 16-20 pound range. You can always work your way up or down from there. Eventually you may have several as I do. I started at the 24, then got the 18, and then the 12. Remember the heavier you get, the fewer rep's you will feel like doing. So if you want the aerobic/cardio aspect of your exercising , you will feel like pumping out more rep's with a lighter bar

My mother (94 yrs of age) is 5'2" and weighs 120 lbs. and it seems to fit her well. It is a bit more compact and I think it's a little easier to fit through tighter spaces. Pretty standard other than size.

You purchase a ball size based on your particular height and how much weight you need resistance for based on your weight and what you might be lifting if using it with free weights. I read numerous review of cheaper exercise balls that burst on people skimping on the price. I certainly didn't want my 82 year old 6'5" father falling to the floor while doing his exercises.

I'm 74 years of age, so walking is just fine for me. The Exerpeutic 100XI, is never flat. It is designed to be on an incline, high or lower. I guess maybe a younger person could run on it. Like running up a rolling hill in Tennessee.It does have a resistance knob on it to give a better work-out, but I don't use it. It is very easy to lift up and put the locking mechanism into the slot to push the exerciser out of the way next to a wall or such. It is very sturdily built.I really L-O-V-E mine and I think you would LOVE it too!

Hi. If your vagina has really poor tone, you might want to start with much lighter weights. Amazon also sells the Aquaflex - Pelvic Floor Exercise System which start out with a 5 gram weight moving to a 10 and then a 20 gram weight. Once you've gotten able to hold in the 20 gram weight, you can then move on to this set reviewed here. I often forget to use it and have to back down again to a lower weight. It's so important though to do it, not only for sexual pleasure, but to keep from becoming incontinent in our later years of life.

She will most likely just keep it down if she uses it. I can handle it. I'm 61. One problem I have once in a while is the belt slips to the side and I have to get my husband to help me "true" it so I don't get that burned rubber smell.I still like the treadmill but if I had it to do over I would get one with padding. Look for one with a small footprint so it doesn't take up much room. That is what I liked about this one.

I wouldn't think so, this little unit is pretty tuff. Im the same height as you and 40-45 lbs less and losing as we write. I really love this unit, and I think as long as you are not too hard on it, it will come through for you. My husband stepped on it and he is 6'5" 290, and it didn't even creak. I'm pretty lazy and this thing has gotten me up and exercising, Im eating better and I have even started my walks outside. I live in the Bay Area and walk along the shore looking at San Francisco. Im losing weight and feeling good. I added 3lb hand weights and use them while im on the stepper. I have a before and I will take an after when Im done. So, good luck, you cannot really go wrong with this. I wouldn't think so, this little unit is pretty tuff. Im the same height as you and 40-45 lbs less and losing as we write.

Average Woman. You can probably tighten them up yourself if you want them to fit kids.

I have a skinny frame but in older so I have a lifting job to do and I buy small because it gives me better lift. An FYI if you have a walmart or target close to you they carry the genie - try it on there BUT I wear the ones that fit mid hip they are fabulous!! Good Luck Love

Hi nancy! Id be happy to answer that. The weights are in front and back! And you cand equally distribute them as well theres fmroom for an extra three pound pocket. Now ive come across another product recommendation id like to share. There is a hyperwear product for men and another for women. Its about half as heavy, But its possibly more functional because it contains a conpression aspect.... You can actually sprint! I hope you weigh both options, The compression hyper wear is about 40 more expensive. Its compression ive aquired is good enough for subtle yoga poses. As i wear my mir.... Daily; its only good for gracile movements. Is sensoray aspect is beneficial and my body has drastically improved. My resting heart rate is is the 90th percentile and my endurance and even my shape in four weeks. I just love it.... Pushing to earn the hyperwear compression to build my body in a balance of motions. 29 has been a major slowing of my quickness I hope this helps...cheers Matt j

I got one for my 26 year old daughter who is 5'2" and about 120 pounds. Perfect for her!

The bare minimum then would be the resistance bands. Otherwise you would need different weights and pull up bar. For yoga I would recommend a block and yoga pad, but it's not required just very good to have. Hope this helps.

I would recommend the women's vest. It goes up to 30 lbs and it more suited for a lady's frame. Search womens MIR vest. Unless you need something heavier.
