Thanks again, I've had a look at New Rules of Lifting For Women but would love to get experiences from those beginners who have tried.

Thanks IsaackGMOON from reading a small section of this I can tell you that there is no way I could start by dead lifting lifting 95lbs! I only weigh a few pounds more than that :-)

Sorry forgot to say that I've no experience of lifting weights, would light dumbbells start at the beginning, I've heard that heavy weights are best but I need to start somewhere!

This is all really interesting and so different to what I am used to. Weight watchers etc!! I wouldn't mind weighing 3 stone more if I was lean and toned. I think I'm what's termed as skinny fat!!

Hi guys, thanks so much. I'm actually afraid to increase my calories as at the moment I have a lot of flab and issues with a stomach pouch after 2 c-sections. I'm trying to eat more protein and healthy fats but limit carbs, is this correct?? Would I need to be doing cardio too?

Thanks a mil for advice :-) Ok, clean eating basically nothing processed, whole foods, any suggestions on what macros I should follow? What does comp or a bulk, then cut mean? Sorry, not into lifting at all!!! Got the body fat from a machine at gym. Any advice on lifting and how I should go about building muscle? I'm a…

maasha81 do you have advice on getting started without going to the gym, like what weights I should start with, have barbell and weights at home. Also, do you mind me asking what macros you have on mfp and how often you work out? pollypocket, I don't think I do but how do I know for sure??

Thanks, I've recently started exercising just 3 weeks ago. In terms of nutrition, what's the best macros. I was eating about 20 30 50 Carbs, Protein, Fat last 6 weeks with a few bad days but stomach is still there, albeit much reduced! I'm assuming 50% fat is too high but am afraid to up the carbs to 40%

Thanks Georginafan but no way would I have the stamina for that. Am doing couch to 5k at the mo. Can you suggest any websites I could look at.

Thanks everyone, when ye say cardio and high density. Would a 60min fast walk suffice? What would high density be? Thanks
