Strength Training
I do strength training with light weights and more repetitions to stay toned and prevent muscle mass. I use this dumbbell set with rack because they are easy to hold with the neoprene coating and the rack makes them easy to grab and store.
I use the exercise bands as part of my strength training. These bands come in different weights and can be combined to add more weight or used individually based on your specific needs.
I use these step platforms for doing step ups and step up and over exercises as part of an aerobic exercise activity. they are stackable so you can adjust the level to suit your specific needs.
