ok. so i need to start some strength training really badly, but i have no idea where to start. these are the body parts i really want to focus on. if i missed any please tell me. i need an excercise for each one. i have 5 pound weights and im going to buy 10 pounders and a ball. also maybe bands if i need them.
arms: biceps and triceps (all over in general)
legs: need something for calves, inner and outer thighs, and butt.
stomach: want to work all ab muscles so im sure i will need 2-3 excercises.
back/shoulders?: give me some ideas.
so thats geneally what i have in mind. the excercises need to be very beginner friendly, but if you could give me some ideas i could look up or a beginner routine it would help so much. also i will be doing this every other day. on the evens i will walk and on the odds s.t.. so 3 days a week.
I'M OPEN TO ALL SUGGESTIONS
