Hi everyone! I am a new member, but have been reading for a while. You all have inspired me to do something about my health
I have done some research on a lot of threads here, and some other websites, and I just have a couple of questions so far.
I have started walking a few days a week to start to get more active, but I wanted to add some resistance training as well. I bought a set of those resistance bands so that they will be easy to use at home without taking a lot of space. I also figured it would be something good for a beginner to use.
My questions are, what is a good warm up routine before actually starting the lifting workout? And also, I am not really sure how much weight to actually use since I have never lifted in the past. What would be the best way to find out what my starting point should be?
Also, I have a lot of trouble doing squats because I have some knee problems. My legs are strong, but my knees just can't take the bending. Is there any other way to train my legs without squats?
Thanks so much to anyone who can help!
Katie
