I lost 40 lbs very fast walking and not eating enough calories. I’ve met my weight goal, however, I’m a flabby mess. I’m female and 5’3” and 63 years old. Due to COVID-19, don’t have access to a gym. I go gave 3 lb, 7 lb and 10 lb weights. Want to firm and tone and gain or build muscle. Any help or advice appreciated. Maybe need a trainer? I’m clueless.

    You could try Blogilates. She has a workout calendar for beginners that gives you a specific set of muscles/ excersise to do daily. Its all available on YouTube.

    Not sure if you’re interested in yoga but Yoga with Adrienne has great beginner videos in YouTube and that can be a really subtle but effective way to build strength!
