Lifting at home advice please.

mamadon

I've got a few free weights at home I want to start using. They are 10 and 20 pound ones. I am probably currently about as weak as a kitten lol. Can anyone give me some good web sites or videos to learn some exercises? theres so many out there, its confusing and I know there are people on here with a lot of knowledge. Thanks in advance.

Are your weights dumbbells? If so, here's a good full body routine: http://www.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/zc0uy/a_beginner_dumbbell_program_the_dumbbell_stopgap

There are two workouts, A and B, which you would alternate, with a rest day between each workout. Click on each exercise for instructions/video.

Thanks foe the info, I was looking for a good dumbbell program while I take a break from my current gym membership. Sounds like a good realistic program until you find a gym or buy the equipment you need

I found dumbbell-exercises.com to be useful because they have a ton of exercises (showing proper form) and some pre-built plans

I started with the Nerdfitness Beginner Bodyweight workout, which uses dumbbells for some kneeling rows. I then used http://www.dumbbell-exercises.com/exercises/index.html and cherry-picked one or two from each area. I mix it up a bit. They have a Top 10 here http://www.dumbbell-exercises.com/top-10/index.html to narrow it down a bit.

use dumbbells at home all the time. Might want to get a couple of lighter ones too. 10 lbs is a lot for some exercises if you are just starting. I still have exercises I only use 8 lbs for

Thanks guys, I will check them all out! I've got 10 and 20 pound ones. So far I am mostly sticking with the 10's as I can't do much with the 20 lb ones yet.
