Any suggestions on beginners strength training?
How did you start your strength training? What weights, how many reps, etc.

Any suggestions on beginners strength training?
donnasim: You can start by using the fitclick preformated weight training exercises (or your own workout). Once you select your workout, start with low weights. The fitclick exercises with start with low weight if you indicate that you are a beginner. If you can perform the exercises relatively easy with the low weight, you can increase the weight in 5 lbs increments. It all depends on what you want to accomplish. Lower weights and more repetitions will lower body fat and tone without gaining muscle mass. Higher weights and less repetitions will increase muscle mass (along with the proper diet). This all hinges on what you eat. If you don't eat the right foods, you probably won't get the results you want.
