Body Sculpture Rowing Machine BR-3100

Advantages: Safe to you in your own home for all areas of the body
Disadvantages: Grips can give sore hands

...Body Sculpture 18kg Combination Dumbbell set. £20.00 from tesco's This is a great product if you are looking to tone your body or are a complete beginner. Using these weights you can tone every major muscle and for those ladies out there who are worried about building muscle, with only 9Kg per dumbell there isnt really enough weight to do this. To make sure all you need to do is lift a weight that you can complete 15 repetitions of for 3 sets, ideally feeling hard for the final 3 reps of each set. If you are looking to build muscle then you need to be working at a much higher intensity whereby you couldnt really lift the weights more than 8 times per set.

Personally I don't mind getting them as it's a sign that you lift weights and are part and parcel of the whole lifestyle. The bars may make your skin slightly hard and dry but to be honest if you don't like them then weight lifting is probably not for you, for any women not wanting to have tough looking hands, then a plastic set of weights can be bought which was eradicate the problem. Also moisturiser applied daily reduces the hardness of the skin. These were some of my first weights I ever used and are targetted mainly at beginners with the total weight of 18kg easily liftable for people who... Read review
