[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm about to turn 50 and feeling blah.  I'm 5'4" and 122 lbs.  I'm not very overweight, but I AM very out of shape.  I doubt I could even do a push up!  What's a good exercise regiment for someone who wants to:

1.  Gain some muscle (especially back, core, upper body muscle)
2.  Gain some flexibility/improve posture
3.  Improve health and maybe lose 5-ish pounds (weight loss is not my main goal, and if I gain muscle, I'm fine with weight gain--I just want to feel a little more....firm)

I need something that is easy to follow, not intimidating and doesn't require a ton of thought.  I like things that are a series--like a 3 week program.  It can't be more than 30 minutes/day 5 days/week.  I'm fine with paying for a subscription.  About 5 years ago, I did "muscle burns fat" on the BODI app, and that was relatively good.  I'm interested in something like that, but maybe a bit easier since I'm a bit older![/quote]

Yours not overweight at all! I think it’s a great idea to focus on weight training vs weight loss. You might actually gain a few pounds but the health benefits are stronger.[/quote]
