In my 70s . During the lockdown I knew I was loosing muscle and my arms were beginning to look old and wrinkled. So I bought a set of these and even with just a few minutes a day I noticed a difference . I try to use them twice a day and muscle has returned , chest has start to look much better than it was . Biceps are getting quite solid compared to what they had become. This is a great workout , not steessful like some of the stuff I have seen on youtube. Great for starting out and getting some muscle back and looking better .
