[quote=Anonymous]Lifting heavy, in the context of the older woman, is about compound movements, not machines. Heavy is based on the absolute amount you can left in one rep with all your effort. To increase bone density you have to do weight bearing exercise, meaning your feet are on the floor. A machine bearing your weight does not give the maximum benefit. Trainer would be the best route to understand weight selection and form. If it’s too pricey (which it is for many) try to do at least a few sessions. Then, you can go to group classes knowing what is appropriate for your body in terms of weight selection and form. [/quote]
