A little bit of background: I am 27, female, obese and have been on an unhealthy diet with little excersise for the past 10 years. Thankfully, no health related problems showing yet but I have decided not to wait until they start popping up and to finally take control of my weight and life style.
In the last few weeks I have gradually educated myself on diet issues and implemented some changes into my diet that start to show first results, which feels great.
I have decided to introduce changes gradually and at a level that I can feel comfortable with and hopefully also maintain in the long run and am now in search of an excersise program to include.
Having done some reading, I had a very good impression about the benefits of weight trainig. However, I am at a bit of a loss when it comes to how to actually get started with it gradually as a home workout?
Going to the gym is not something I feel comfortable with or that would fit well into my daily schedule so I would prefer to start working out at home.
My questions go out to those experienced in weight training:
- Do you know of a simple beginner program that you would recommend?
- What equippment would a beginner need to workout at home?
- Are there any specific issues to watch out for when getting started with weight training?
Thank you for taking the time to comment. Any pointers or input will be much appreciated! 
Stay positive and check this out. Hopefully, it adds value.
