Looking for a great support system of girls (or guys lol) that are into weight lifting. I work out from home and I do the elliptical plus dumbell/ body weight routines. Sometimes I just need someone to kick my butt into gear. If you'd like a supportive friend feel free to add me !! Thanks for reading

Hello,
I reallllyy want to start weight lifting. I am going to my first strength training class today. Other than that I have absolutely no idea where to start or what technique I should follow. I recently lost a lot of weight and now i'm look to tighten and tone everything. I would love some tips on how to get started!0 -
I started with Chalene Extreme from Beach Body and it was great starting place for me teaching about form & technique.
I just moved on to Simply Shredded- all can be mostly done at home... you can Google each exercise to get a visual on proper form.
I used to be strictly cardio- and I have to say I am loving picking up the heavy stuff! Good luck!! Feel free to add me0 -
I workout from home as well, I do dumbbell workouts and HIIT circuits. Today I did a killer total body superset dumbbell routine and ran the stairs in my 5 story apartment complex between each superset. Do you have a program you are doing or do you make up your own workouts?0

In for touching your butt!!!!!!!!0 -
I workout from home too and my first program that dealt with weight training was LesMills Pump. Great program and really got me into working out with weights. Since then I have also done Crossfit but just found it hard to get to the gym so my home gym is set up for Crossfit but I still mostly do my home dvd's. My current one is Body Beast. I love this program and it's easy to follow. I love the programs because it gives you a schedule to follow and takes the guessing out of what to do and when.0

I also work out at home, treadmill, spin bike, free weights, punching bag, and a pole. I do a lot of different stuff so I don't get bored. I have a 3 month old and a one year old so I'm super busy, but when my friends reach out I'm there with ideas and support. I just finished a squat and dip workout with a baby strapped to my chest. I'd like to think I motivate people to ditch excuses!0

I started on August 16th adding weight lifting at home in my already walking/running schedule. I do it 3 days a week, about 40-45 minutes a session.
My profile picture is the before and after of that endeavor. Keeps me motivated to keep going.0 -
I just started a few weeks ago but have been getting really serious in the last 2 weeks. I could def use motivation to keep me pushing forward! FR sent! Anyone else please feel free to FR me too!0

Anyone who loves to lift (or is thinking about getting into it) can FR me :bigsmile:0

I did crossfit for a few months and then 5/3/1 at home before (in preparation for) getting pregnant. I lazily took about 6 months to go through one 5/3/1 cycle (they usually take a month) postpartum. Then I picked it up and did the next cycle in about a month (next week will be deloading week). So I think I've successfully gotten back to lifting, even if my 1RMs have suffered a little, haha.
In case anyone's interested, lifting as a way to get a body back after a pregnancy seems to be a success, I think. I'm almost back down to prepregnancy measurements.
ETA, I also lift at home:0 -
I lift weights three times a week and love it! Nothing is better than feeling strong and having beautiful muscles!
Feel free to add me!0
