[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 976048, member: 52972"] I have 3 sets of cheap dumbells that I got at Wal-Mart that you can buy individually. I have a pair of 10#, 15# and 20#. We have a Military channel here where they have some excellent exercise programs using the small weights in a progressive/regressive workout. Start out using the 20# for 10 or 20 reps, then immediately switch to the 15# for another 10 or 20 reps, and finally immediately switch to the 10# for another 10-20 reps. The principle is that when you stress the muscle, you need to keep moving it, so by reducing the weight and continuing, you can continue to work the muscle until it is stressed, and then lower the weight again and keep working the muscle. If 10 or 20 reps is too easy, just increase the reps until it's difficult to do the last one or two reps. You can do all kinds of excises this way to develop arm, shoulder and chess muscles. You gain strength, endurance and muscle tone. I couple that with going to the YMCA about 3 times a week to use the stationary bike for about 5 miles and I use their weight machines for my back, abs, and legs. You might want to check on the local YMCA's. We have a great one here and it only cost $37 a month for a single person, and about $60 for a family. For that you get access to everything including a huge basketball gym, indoor olympic pool, sauna, weight room, aerobics room, and of course they have a lot of extra cost excercise classes like Zumba, Yoga, etc..(mostly for women) ...Rich [/QUOTE]
