[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recommend getting a trainer to show you proper form.

I don’t know how you’re going to do it without joining a gym. I doubt you have all the equipment at home.

Eventually you want to do Stronglifts.[/quote]

+1 on a trainer or someone who really knows that they are doing to show you the ropes.  I am agnostic on the gym part--you can do a lot with some free weights/resistance bands and a bench--but if you have crummy form or do not approach it correctly, especially with heavy weights, you can really hurt yourself.  I had a buddy who was a Marine show me the basics.

If you just want to build tone/strength, I have a book called Women's Strength Training Anatomy that is very good.

A lot of the exercises can be done at home and use the weight of your own body with lots of reps to build strength and tone.  Highly recommend it, especially during COVID times.  [/quote]
