I just started reading this book on New Rules-Lifiting-Women-Goddess (see link above someone provided) and it seems to be stepping the way through how very nicely. I am like you and have no idea and this book was highly recommended.

I would suggest Stronglifts 5 x 5 or Starting Strength. Both are really good beginners strength training routines that are easy to follow for both men and women.

There is a group on MFP here called Stronglifts for Women which does now have a couple of men also, its very active and full of answers to all the questions you could ever ask.

Google both the above and look at the videos on Youtube.

Happy lifting :drinker: it ROCKS

My daughter and I are doing stronglifts. There are a lot of folks on MFP that are doing it as well.

The simplicity of it is wonderful. Not tons and tons of routines to have to memorize, which makes it nice.

QFT

I started with NROLFW and made it through Stage 1 but looking ahead, it got more complicated and required more equipment.
SL 5x5 is simple - 5 lifts to memorize. Instead of 12+.

Check it out!
