I've mainly stuck to cardio, but I've been hearing more and more about strength training and how it'll boost fat burn, I'll gain muscle/ become more toned, and best of all, I'll be strong!

Now the problem I have is... I don't know where to start. What does strength training actually involve? Can I do it at home as I don't have a gym membership? Do I need weights? How often do I need to do it? What are some of the "moves"? Ahhh help!

I figured I'd turn to the MFP community first since I know a lot of you have experience with it and maybe you've even been in my shoes before. Anything you have- articles that have helped you, your favorite YouTube videos... anything!- will be a great help.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read!
