You don’t have to have a lot of fancy equipment to get in shape, but a few things are needed if you are 40 and over.
You need dumbells for women I suggest 3,5 and 8 pounds to start and once you feel comfortable then increase gradually. Men I would suggest at least 8, 10, 15 to start. Now this can vary depending on your fitness level., Rule of thumb: if the reps are easy then you need to increase if you are having trouble lifting then decrease your weight.
Remember: Go at your own pace. Always consult a physicain before you start any exercise program.
Here are a few more suggestions to get you started:
Good pair of gym shoes
An exercise routine that mixes strength training and cardio
A postive attitude
Optional Equipment: Excercise videos, treadmills,jump rope,ab ball, bike, are just to name a few.
