[quote=Anonymous]Rebecca Kennedy 5 day split on Peloton. You do the same 5 work outs for 4-6 weeks with dumb bells. They are mostly 30 minutes (one 45 min full body). Ideally, you keep a log of the weights you're using each week and see how you progress (you really, really do progress!). She gives really helpful cues and I love her music choices.

Choose weights based on what allows you to keep good form but you feel genuinely tired by the 8th, 9th and 10th reps.

I found this split to be so effective and I was starting from scratch in my early 40's. I come back to it every few months (trying out other peleton programs in between). For bicep curls, I started with 5 lbs and now do 25. For dead lifts, I started with a 20lb weight in each hand and progressed to 50 in each hand. It's amazing how your body can adapt! My arms and shoulders have definition, my legs slimmed down and look toned. But best of all, I feel really strong! Just decide to start one day and keep going. You can do it![/quote]
