Exercises with Light Weights
Building Arm Strength
Growing up as a dancer, I developed stronger legs compared to my arms, which became the weaker link. To address this, I have been focusing on building my arm strength. I don’t lift heavy weights; instead, I use smaller weights—10 lbs, 15 lbs, and 20 lbs—for toning purposes. This is from my 5am group tone class :)
Fun Fact: Women are especially susceptible to osteoporosis. This is because their bones are thinner and their oestrogen levels decline during menopause. It’s also because of unhealthy diets and the impact of eating disorders. The constant contracting and extending movements pull on our bones, which enables them to build new cells and so increases bone density.
