Can the participants use hand-held weights?
For the lower body strength training exercises, your participants will definitely need cuff weights that can wrap around the ankle. For the upper body strength training exercises, participants can use either hand-held weights or the cuff weights wrapped around the wrist. Some people are more comfortable holding the hand-held weights; others prefer the cuff weights. Most new sites that are starting up will buy one set of cuff weights and use them for both the lower and upper body strength training exercises. Storage and budget are often the issues that preclude most sites from buying both kinds of weights.
