Hey lovely,

Thanks for reaching out!

Rachael considers using bodyweight, resistance bands or ankle weights, and dumbbells less than 5kg “light” when it comes to exercising.
With this in mind, the exercises she suggests can be practiced using the listed above. :)

If you have any questions, feel free to email us at info@rachaelattard.com

Love,
Len

Hello,

I want to know what should be the weight of ankle weights and dumbbells?
How much weight is good?

In reply to Kat. Hi lovely, thanks for reaching out! <3 Rachael recommends these resistance bands and the 4-6LB ones. This will ensure that they don't cause any bulkiness but still make the workouts challenging :) I hope this helps! xx Love, Sanja

Hi Rachel,
How do I choose which level/weight of resistance band to buy, having not used them before?
Thank you!

In reply to Sara. Hi Sara, I think it differs from person to person. Ankle weights are safe, unless you already have a pre-existing issue with your ankles, or if you find that you constantly roll your ankles. If so, I would do exercises without them, or just use them for floor exercises such as donkey kicks and leg lifts. Otherwise you should be able to do any exercises using them xx

Hi Rachael! I was looking through some articles online and there were a couple that warned against using ankle weights due to its impact on joints so I’m not really sure if I should get some ankle weights for myself or not :( Are there any exercises that I should avoid using ankle weights for? (jumping jacks for example?) Or does it differ from person to person?
Thanks !
