[quote=Anonymous]Mid-50s here. I started regularly doing strength training recently after being diagnosed with osteopenia. I initially did videos by fitness with PJ. She has a lot of content on youtube and is geared towards women over 40s. But in the last week or so decided to go through the Caroline Girvan Iron series, which is straight out strength training. I am fine with the core stuff and like doing it, so I alternate days between Iron and cardio/core/plyo/hiit. At home, I have the Bowflex adjustable dumbbells. https://www.bowflex.com/product/552-adjustable-dumbbells/100131.html#q=adjustable+dumbbells&start=1. These are very easy to adjust and gives a wide range of weights. However, they get very bulky for me for certain exercises so I recently purchased these in 20 lbs per dumbbell (you can purchase lighter or heavier). These are a lot more compact, though not as easy to adjust (still easy though). https://northdeerusa.com/products/northdeer-2-0-upgraded-adjustable-steel-dumbbells-40lbs-free-weight-set-with-connector-2-in-1-dumbbell-barbell-set[/quote]
