From the side gate to the steps at the end is... 20 metres! Hmmm... 🤔

Would like to increase the weight but not keen on buying more but also don't want to do any damage either! ta

Angus Clydesdale Jul 2020 2:24pm, 13 Jul 2020 18,892 posts	0 Angus Clydesdale Low weight / high reps is a stamina circuit. High weight / low reps is a strength circuit. Which makes them different games really.

Ness Jul 2020 5:32pm, 13 Jul 2020 11,930 posts	0 Ness I don’t use the weights work for weight loss, Pix, so I don’t know about this aspect. For me, I have done weight training over the past 9 or 10 years or so purely for improving my muscle strength which has certainly helped improve my running. I stick with high reps with relatively low weights. Depending on the exercise I use dumbbells weighing between 3 and 10kgs. Three sets of reps, usually 12 to 15 reps. Hope my waffling helps.
