Hi everyone

I want to start doing weight training at home but I have noooo idea where to start. What type of weights should I buy, how heavy, etc. I'm a 68kg, 23 year old girl.

Appreciate any advice :)

    I'm getting ready to start with Kettlebells. My sister swears by "Kettlebell Bombshell". I'll be starting it next week. Hopefuly it's magical.

    If you will only be doing this at home than I strongly suggest one of the dumbbell sets that you can adjust the weight on. You don't want to buy 5 pound weights and need 20s in a month. They have two or three types at walmart that would do the trick.

    I recommend the book, "The New Rules of Lifting for Women".

    The ChaLEAN Extreme program is mostly strength training-- I love it!

    I also recommend Bowflex SelectTech weights, or a cheaper brand. If you can't make the investment, a good set of resistance bands would work as well.
