Hi,

I am 38 yrs old female and I want to lose weight and get into shape.
I do Zumba 3 times a week and want to also do weights (about 2kgs right now) for legs,arms and abs.
The weights I want to do alone from home. What equipment should I get?
Also,what is better dumbbells or medicine ball.
I think it's also important to work on my balance.

Thanks

    I'd go with the dumbbells, you'll get more versatility out of them than a medicine ball.

    You can use them for so many different exercises and have them as heavy or light as you need. Medicine balls have their place but I don't find they give an overall workout.
