A little clarification required please...

Hi Folks,

I'm sure this has been asked countless times but I'm looking for a strength training programme I can follow at my gym. Looking through previous posts there is loads of information and tbh it's all a bit overwhelming.

I’m looking to tone up the usual places; arms, stomach, butt and back (especially those chubby bits at the shoulder blades! ). I’ve lifted weights in the past but have never stuck to a proper programme.

Right now its mostly cardio (5k runs on the treadmill 3-4 times a week) but I know I need to incorporate some weights in there too ideally for about 30-35 mins.

Can someone suggest a link or site which could help?

Thanks!!

As far as toning up the usual places... that's mostly about diet, so make sure your diet is appropriate.

Starting Strength and StrongLifts 5x5 are probably the most recommended beginner programs.

I did stronglifts 5x5. Super easy to follow. Just don't worry if you can't add 5lbs every workout. Find smaller plates or don't add for a week or two, if necessary.

Program for lifting is good but keeping a close eye on your nutrition is the KEY. You will get results no matter what as long as your sticking to your nutrition and doing any kind of lifting program stay motivated! The journey is long but so rewarding!
