    Hi maggiemay. I'm afraid that it will be pretty hard to start a serious weight training program with only 5 pound hand weights. If you can go to a gym, a body weight program may be the best thing for you to do.

    Here is a program from t-nation called "death by body weight"

    There are plenty of other body weight programs out there. Just google body weight training.

    you could join a gym. You aren't going to get anywhere with the 5 pound weights.

    Yep, agreed 5 lb weights will do very little for you. You need to challenge your muscles with heavy loads to see any changes in your body shape. Gym.

    If your not going to join a gym... i think your best option would be body weight stuff... Buy 30 day shred or something?
