Any fitness buffs out there willing to give me some advice about weight lifting?
Over the past 7 months or so I have lost 50 pounds. Lately I have noticed that I have lost a bit of muscle mass along with the fat. I would like to get into the weight room but I have never really been into that kind of fitness training. Right now I'm walking about 4 miles a day and I'm feeling pretty good. I'm not interested in body building. I just want to tone up and fill out a few places that seem to be disappearing! Some of that may be due to the fact that I'm almost 50 but I'm hoping I can still tone up some areas.
Any tips on how to get started and what types of lifting I need to do would be appreciated!
Thanks!
