I am going to suggest you read this article:

And know you don't have to go to a gym to get strength training. However, if you have the membership you probably want to use it. For other strength training I would suggest you check out:

You're my new bestie... I loved that article. I got the NROL4W book and have been procrastinating on getting out of the circuit room with the other fat ladies and moving out to the free weights. I'm fat and 40-yo and I just knew I was going to look friggin' ridiculous. I appreciate you posting that article.

I had to start somewhere (I knew nothing) and with the soreness I feel afterwards--I'd say it's right where I need to be.

Does you gym offer weight lifting classes? I take bodypump. I stand in the back. It really helps.

If the BodyPump you do is anything like the aerobics class they do at the gym here with the Barbie weights, it's not weightlifting. That's still cardio.

I'm responding to this statement. Thanks for the tip on the book you mentioned. I will be looking into that.
