New to weights

AndyRogan

Since starting mfp, I've added an hour walk to my daily routine, and lost 19lb so far.
Now I want to start using weights to get a bit of definition.

I don't have access to a gym, with proper weights, just a set of dumbbells.

Whats the best way to start out?

You can do a million and one things with just dumbbells.

Assuming you have decent weight range on your home dumbbells, I'd personally I'd start learning the bigger compound movements first and add an extra movement to that muscle group, then add exercises as you go.

4 sets of 10-12 reps

Chest:
Bench press with Flyes

Legs:
Squat (with DB's, hold them at your side) & Lunges

Back:
Deadlift and DB Rows

Shoulder:
Shoulder Press and lat raise

Arms:
Bicep curl and tricep kick backs.

It's basic but covers all muscle groups.
Loads of exercises on the bodybuilding.com database etc. Plus, for form; YouTube is your best friend. (plus a mirror)
