Natalie (my 15 year old) is most excited about this new fitness set for use with her physical therapy. She said her therapist will be quite happy!
First, there is a nice jump rope. Not a cheapie kids type that you pick up at walmart either. Nice swivel handles and a thin coated cord. The coating on the cord is a nice thickness that shouldn't wear away too quickly after hitting a hard floor repeatedly. Not sure I'd want to use it on a rough sidewalk though, just because the roughness might wear away at the coating a little more.
Second, there are four resistance bands: light, medium, heavy and very heavy. These will be great as her shoulder strengthens and she can add more "weight".
Finally there are two sliding discs for doing lunges. My daughter dreads lunges even though they are a great exercise for strengthening her bad knees. She says they are "evil" but in a good way :)
So, if you need something new for home exercise, this seems to be a great kit to get you started!
