All,

This has been a great journey and I am terrible greatful for where I am at.

I am finding that with the sudden weight loss, though I exercise roughly 3 times a week (cardio mostly), I am very poorly defined. I am 45 yo and not looking to enter any contests however I am looking for some definition between the bottom of my tooshy and the back of my knees as well as toning in other areas.

Are there any cost effective, easy resources to help those of us who are challenged with knowing what to do weights to learn how to set goals and accomplish them in the weight room. IE like the couch to 5k website but for weight lifting??

Thanks,

WCM

My wife has a great book called "New Rules of Lifting For Women". It's one of a series of weightlifting books. Very detailed. If I recall, it pretty much lays out the workout program for you including how to lift, how much weight, how many sets, reps and even how much time to rest in between. It's simple and basic, perfect for someone just starting out.

I have found great workout ideas on pinterest --- however if you don't know how to do proper exercises I would recommend a DVD-- the biggest loser ones are reasonably prices and I've liked them!

Thanks a million Butter and JH. I really appreciate it. My journey is inspired by you and all the folks on this website that have helped to lead the way for all of us. Thank you for input, that book sounds like a good "bible toward becoming fit and healthy".

Have a great day!

I'm doing the 12 week lean body program on bodybuilding.com. It's free!!!!!
