Really want to start lifting weights

TerraGirl17

Looking for some advice, I work 40 hours a week at a desk job and I am a single mom to 3 very active kids, I don't have time to go to the gym now that my relationship status has changed but I would really like to start lifting weights, I don't mind spending a little bit of money on weights but I have no idea what to get and what to do with them once I get them!! Can anyone help me out with a routine and suggestions on what to buy....

you could try joining a Crossfit gym, you'll learn how to do Olympic lifts, it may be safer than trying it by yourself

Startingstrength.com Order the book and watch the DVDs. This is a great way to learn the forms. Proper form is the best way to prevent you from hurting yourself. See if you can also find someone who knows what they are doing to watch you and correct your form.

I like a DVD I bought a few years ago, loved it then and still do. You can increase your weights and time as you progress. Its called Kathy Smith's Lift Weights to Lose Weight. There's 2 20 minute workouts on it. Upper Body and Lower Body. I do one, one day and one the next, alternating every day but one every week. There's also tips for looking thinner with better posture and says its appropriate for all ages.
