Your new web site seems to differ from the book and video regarding ankle weights. (Your book and video recommend 20 lb ankle weights but your web site only recommends up to 10 lbs.) Should I only use up to 10 lb ankle weights? Are 20 lb ankle weights too much weight?

We are glad to hear about your success with the program. 20 lbs. ankle weights are still recommended. For the exercises in SWSY, many people need between 10-20 lb ankle weights, particularly for the Knee Extension and Hip Extension exercise.

We have also begun recommending 10 lb. ankle weights because many readers have had difficulty buying the 20 lb. weights. For some of the new and challenging exercises in Strong Women, Strong Bones, many readers require a lower starting weight and can use the 10 lb. ankle weights. An example is the Side Leg Raise on our web site.
