Hi Golfergirl, here is a website I found by accident tonight that explains the lingo of lifting weights.

If you want a good beginner program, try BFL. You can do the exercise routine and not the eating plan, but your results may be different. If you are following the food pyramid you probably will need to add some protein. You can also read
www.bodyforlife.com and it will go over the time limits between exercises, etc.
