I want to start doing some strength training. I am a wuss with no upper body strength. I am also broke. I have a set of 5-pound weights, and a set of 2-pound weights. I can hold them together to make 7 or 10 lbs.

Can someone suggest some moves and a number of sets/reps to start with? If you just give the name of the move, I can find instructions/videos/pictures. I just need to know what it's called.

You can do body weight workouts like planks, squats, lunges, burpees,
Jumping jacks. Just google body weight workout.
