I'm now @ 66 yrs.; been working out w/ a universal gym and elliptical machine for years. my lower back has recently been in pain and spending much time trying to get an cardio and fitness training program, but usually just winging it, figuring something is better than nothing. The leg press and other leg exercises on the universal caused all my back issues. I'm not overweight, but still slightly out of shape, but overall health is good. I'm being careful on diet because of plaque in arteries is high. I also been working on getting rid of that stubborn belly fat. I've recently found on You Tube; fit over 50 W/ mark Mcilyar programs, and find this very helpful w/ fitness and cardio. slightly hard in the beginning, but hopefully will be something I can stick to. I'm buying a rubber floor mat and Adjustable dumbbells for many exercises. I've found the Core Fitness or Nuobell adjustable dumbbells to be the easiest to use. The Core only only goes up to 50 lbs.; and the Nuobell 80 lbs. The nuobells seems better quality, but even their 50 lb weights are near double the price to the Core; but may not last as long. Purchasing replacement handles may be easier to access w/ the cores. Would the 50 lb. max weights be enough for most fitness programs or exercises ? Seems the 80 lb. DB's is better for dead lifts and Squats, but @ 66 yrs, would I ever reach that level ?
