in Health and Weight Loss
I am pretty sedentary. I walk the dog 25-30 min. My work requires some walking/standing and some sitting. I have slowly lost 35 lbs total from highest weight, 15 lbs of that in 2021. I am not losing slowly on purpose, 57F overweight.

I don’t know if it is too late, but I would like to add some resistance training to save my muscles. I don’t belong to a gym and want to start with basic exercises at home. We have some small hand weights here. I am looking for a good starter video or directions on what to do.

    Gave a look at Hasfit. It is where I started. The simple beginners programme is great.
    It is 3 sets, I started with one set and worked on being able to do the moves and progressed from there.
    (Yes, some things I had to start very gradually and build to being able to complete the move)

    Once I had that programme conquered I found something a little more challenging gradually progressing to a barbell programme.

    Don’t worry about age, speed of progression, or what anyone else can do. Do what you can do now and progress at your comfort level.

    Cheers, h.

    Hereis the one I used many years ago. Now there are plenty on YouTube or the Hasfit site.

    Seconding the recommendation for Hasfit. There are tons of videos for various levels of experience and the ones I've done always include modifications for beginner fitness.

    I normally do conventional barbell lifting but I've been sidelined due to abdominal surgery and then costochondritis so I needed something less intense and Hasfit fit the bill.

    I used the free YMCA resistance band intro and still do their longer workout for that, off and on. They have a pretty wide range of solid programs, including for beginners - worth a look:
