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

Feel free to add me to facebook/wovenx if you want - I've been working out for a while now. Enjoy your weights! (I got the stand to which is awesome)

Absolutely! This chair will be perfect for you. I am 28 113lbs and this chair has been a life saver for me. It's light, small, and extremely easy to get around. I would highly recommend it.

My wife and I use the bar for bench press and squats and it works fine. We are both 60+ and don't load the bar very heavy. The bar is very solid.

Hi Patti, I'd like to believe that this stoll would be more than enough for her. I honestly believe that my situation was a fluke. I actually still use my stool nearly every day. I believe this stool will prove to be fine for your needs. The step and platform are fairly strong and should give her comfortable support.

It's adjustable and it will be great for her.. You can even try it I'm 21 and it's a great workout!

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.

Prob small adult about 38"--I guess weight would depend on your fitness and core strength as you can strain your back until you are conditioned to the movement. Maybe 1.5.

Resistance bands and weights. I only have 5lb dumbbells available to me right now, so that's what I'm using until I get paid. Then I'm going to bump it up and buy a heavier set. She makes reference to using up to 20 lbs though, but only for certain exercises.

It depends on your current level of fitness. Will you be modifying to start? A good pair of cross training shoes, a mat for stretch & Yoga, and a set of resistance bands. I prefer the kind that combine a single band with detachable handles. Some starter sets (3 diff level resistance bands, handles, and a door adapter). You can add on from there.

Steve, sorry, but I do not have a clue. I am 64 years old, and my ideas about exercise are probably different from yours. That been said, paying someone to tell you how to exercise is, at best, weird to me. No need to get technical about it; you are not a machine. Do what feels right to you and make a habit of it. That's all there is to it. And when you are gone, go have a beer because that is good for you, too! Good luck to you.

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

my counter is at 45 and work as long as your not a kid, hence your at 43 inches it should be just right. :)

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

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.

It was actually for my girlfriend, but she squats almost 300 lbs in it with no trouble. If you are going over 405 or 500 I might recommend a leather one.

I only have this model, and don't know what the difference is, but my daughter-in-law keeps taking it away from me because she thinks it's fun to work with. She's typical; not weak, but certainly not an athlete. I think if you have normal strength you'll be fine.
