I've always been a cardio person, I'll admit that, but I know I have to branch out more. I moved into an apartment building with a gym in it, but sadly all it has is two treadmills and two ellipticals! A friend of mine gave me an old weight set of his and it's two dumbbell weights that can be changed from 5 pounds each to 25 pounds each and I'd like to start using them more for a strength training regime.

Anyone out there have simple strength training exercises they really like that involve little to no equipment?

    Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength has been working for me. You need a barbell for that though.

    lunges, bulgarian squats, a barbell would expand your options quite a bit

    I have been doing some body weight exercises and I've found them very effective. I'm not really trying to build muscle now since I'm losing, but I do want to maintain what I have. Yoga is great for strengthening and toning and you need minimal equipment.
