I've always done lots of cardio. I run, ride horses, whitewater raft, hula hoop... elliptical and bikes on days in the gym... but I have no idea how to strength train. The weight room is filled with the only attractive guys from my school (college life, you know?), and I can't bring myself to go in there because I haven't got a clue what to do with any of the equipment and I don't want to make a fool of myself.
So... how does one go about learning to strength train? I'm assuming you can't just walk in and lift things and expect results/not to get hurt.
Side note: I'm gladly admitting where I come up short. Please be nice about it!
Hi! I asked a similar question a while ago, being a female college student with the same insecurity. I was told New Rules of Lifting for Women is very useful, and the ebook is free online. I eventually decided not to try lifting, but that was my decision. Good luck!0
