Weights routines recommended for a girl tryin to lose 140ish lbs

disturbedlusha

I have read and heard from people who have lost weight if they could go back and change something what would it be? And most have said they would have done weight training from day 1. I have no idea where to start, how heavy to lift and which routines to do as i am a complete noob. Can someone please recommend where I should start and what weights to buy etc as I cannot go to a gym. Thanks

I suggest reading through several different programs before buying anything. Pick a program and then get the equipment that you need for it. Here are several different beginner programs. By no means is this list exhaustive but it will give you a few to read through:

Another option is to work with a good personal trainer. At 140 lbs overweight, it's likely you have mobility issues that will affect your form. A good trainer can customize your routine to your abilities, and ensure that you have good form. If you hire one, first google "how to choose a good personal trainer"

Maybe your doctor can refer you to a physical therapist or someone who can help you with this?

Start with some dumbbells. You can work pretty much everything with dumbbells. start with some 5 pounders, then buy some 10's, then 12's etc, as your strength builds.
