Hello, I am new to the group! Doing basic and toned at home now. Loved abs sequence!

A bit about me: all my life, like for about 20 years I have been doing only gentle type of workouts, like barre, pilates, dynamic stretching (taichi style), rebounding. I was afraid to get bulky, so I never took hand weights, ankle weights higher than 2  pounds ….

Where did it bring me? I am 46 now, and my body is flabby and saggy. I also lipedema, and got an early menopause at 38. Quite sure, early meno has played a huge role in my sagginess.

My biggest question is: should do some special weights routine to address this lack of tone, and which programme would you recommend? (I bought the hand weights with up to 10 pounds range and discovered that I enjoy so much using them. Quite sad for wasted years though..)

Didi two circuits of x10 and enjoyed it 🥰

Great exercises for the apron as well! Joey, what is the recommended number of reps shoudl we reach? I can do 20, but should I do it in several sets or x20 at once per one exercise?

Joey A. I have up to 10 lbs. Will try with 6 lbs, thank you (5 lbs is a bit on the easy side for me)

What weight would you recommend for dumbbells?

Can your training be combines with other activities? E.g. rebounding and dynamic stretching in the morning
