I just purchased the Strong Women Stay Young Video. It talks about adjustable ankle weights that you can use. I see in the booklet they sent that you can buy them but how do you know which to buy? (pair of 10 lb or pair of 20 lb). How do you know about increasing them? I have 2, 3 and 5 lb weights. Do I need 8 and 10 lb ones? I am very confused about which weights to use, can you help me?

The Strong Women Stay Young Video was produced to accompany my book Strong Women Stay Young. The book provides all of the information that you will need to get started, where to get ankle weights, and how to progress. You can also find that information on our web site by clicking on the following links:

• Tips on How to Get Started are included in the Essentials of Strength Training.
• Where to Get Weights is a Frequently Asked Question on our web site.
• For information on how to progress and when to increase the weights use the Exercise Intensity Scale. This scale is the safest and easiest way to tell when you are ready to increase your weights.
