Recommended Exercise Equipment

Dumbbells

There are two different types of dumbbell to invest in: Fixed or Adjustable.

If you prefer the fixed kind, I recommend:
• 1-2 sets of light dumbbells (5-10 lbs)
• 1-2 sets of medium dumbbells (12-20 lbs) and
• 1-2 sets of heavier dumbbells (30-60 lbs)

If you prefer the adjustable kind, these are great and a huge space saver:
