Just started lifting myself! Had a session with a trainer last night to figure out my starting work weight, form and routine. I also am just finishing up reading "New rules of lifting for women" great book, highly recommend it!
Would love more lifting friends!0 -
Strength training is a priority on my list right now. I was previously a competitive distance runner, but even then I strength trained 2-3 days a week. I am in a new phase of training so I do circuit training and strength programs ranging 3-5 days a week and run 3 days. There are so many options that it helps keep me injury free, motivated and a positive state of mind.
I was a personal trainer years ago and form was crucial. I've also taken seminar on Olympic lifting and proper form for body weight exercises these past 6 months.0 -
Sure! I've been doing Stronglifts since last October but I still sometimes struggle with it because there's no certified weightlifting trainer at my gym.0

Hi! Great to hear another female is getting into weight training. I've lifted weights on and off over the years and most recently have been at it about 6 months. Just found new rules of lifting for women (there's a group here for it, too) and am starting with stage 1. Feel free to friend me - psyched to convert some fat to muscle!0
