in Fitness and Exercise
Hi,
I'm about 2 weeks into my new exercise regime, I work out 5 times a week, but this mostly consists of cardio. I do spinning 1x a week (planning on raising to 2x as my fitness goes up), I do various 30-40 minute sessions on the elliptical/cross trainers such as 'rolling hills' and 'aerobic' workouts. I also have plans to begin HIIT workouts on the treadmill this week.
I know that you need to work with weights/build resistance in order to achieve maximum results but I don't really know where to start. can anyone advise me? I'm not afraid of starting on an intermediate level, as i think my muscles have already strengthened nicely.
Many thanks.

    I started with Body for Life but within weeks morphed over to New Rules of Lifting for Women.

    There are LOTS of "groups" here on mfp - including "women strength training" and "NROL4W" that you might want to check out!
