    Start lifting now gentle Jedi of the sea. Try a beginner's program like StrongLifts or Starting Strength and supplement with cardio on rest days.

    Ok thanks guys. Was doing SL before but I don't really like it anymore. Looking for other starter full body workouts, including legs.

    Strong Lifts is good, but I found it monotonous doing the same thing all the time. If you want more variety, Strong Curves and The New Rules of Lifting are both good programs, and they change up the workouts a bit.

    I know but sometimes people will exclude legs from full body workouts, wasn't talking about SL.
