I used to lift a little but that was many years ago. I am adding weights 3X a week, I have free weights at home. I know (or should I say remember) the basics..I think. Are there any good references or sites for an old fat broad to restart? I have 1, 3, 5, and 10 pound weights as well as the little weight balls I use while doing cardio. I will get more as I progress.

Also, I got one of those big balls for core work, anything in conjunction with those would be fantastic. Okay, I got two because they were pretty.:laugh:

    There is a great group on here called Stronglifts 5x5 for Women that I recommend highly.

    What kind of weights do you have?

    Just hand weights :) I got your invite to the group but am not sure where to find the groups?

    I would start by picking them up, then putting them back down.

    Mmm. Well, that has already been accomplished but thanks for the sarcasm.

    Under the community tab there is a link for groups.

    Does that help?
