[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been active most of my life and am well versed in many exercises and activities, but I have never lifted and find myself at a loss.  How to even get started?  What exercises do I do when?  I have pretty clear goals for why I want to start lifting (tone, increase strength, improve bone desnsity), but a personal trainer is not possible right now and  am ovewhelmed by everything available on the interwebs. If you did not start with a trainer, how did you get started, and how long did it take you to feel comfortable with what you were doing?  Thanks for any advice for a newbie!  [/quote]

Lifting heavy clicked for me when I realized that a few well chosen exercises were all I need.  In which case, yes, a trainer can't hurt, but youtube could be enough too since there isn't much to learn.  My own routine right now isn't all that different than this one:  https://www.outsideonline.com/health/training-performance/absolute-minimalists-strength-workout/   You can substitute rows for the pull-up.  I don't think it would take you too long to figure it out if you keep it simple.[/quote]
