    I started with machines, but recently wanted to branch out to using free-weights. Thanks to one of my awesome MFP friends, I started a new dumbbell routine this week and I love it! I was nervous to get started because I am inexperienced, but a bit of research and the help of YouTube helped me gain the confidence to give it a shot.

    Here's the link to the plan:

    I have tutorial videos saved on my phone. I set up with my dumbbells and a bench and I follow the routine while referring to the videos if I'm unsure. I still use a few machines and I do 30 minutes of cardio daily as well.

    Thanks for sharing! This is exactly what Ive been looking for. The barbells intimidate me, especially since I go to the gym by myself so a dumbell routine is right up my alley, at least for a beginner like me. :)
