Yes much too heavy. No idea what possessed me to get such a heavy one.

my very young 20yrs and healthy but not fit step daughter had a go last week and i was furious they put her straight on with an 8kg one and she's still aching and has a pain in her arm , they didn't do any kind of health check and i'm sure if i'd turned up they would've just let me have a go and i'm 6 weeks post op gggrrr well done you though because you seem to know what you're doing and being sensible

You should always start low weight to start as you really have to get your technique right first off otherwise injury will happen. I started off with 4kgs as i had been doing weights for a while.

that's what i thought , and she said to her you'll be doing two at a time next week, i couldn't believe it because she has never done weight exercise before and no exercise for about a year anyway i've told her to come swimming with me but she used to be a brilliant swimmer so will leave me way behind
