Identify the equipment you have available, assess how often you can exercise per week and decide what you want to accomplish. It's important to have a plan or else you re setting yourself up for failure. A lot of people think that it's just to get big and stronger for athletics. So, you can actually condition your body to be an efficient fat burner 24 hours a day. That's really important.
Many people don t take weight training into account when they diet.
They just do cardiovascular exercise and maybe improve their nutrition. Measuring your weight as a progress indicator really isn't the best approach. Use other measures of progress such as body fat, waist to hip ratio, how you feel, how you look and then remind yourself of all the other things you are accomplishing such as decreasing your risk of disease and illness. There are a lot of strength training books and programs out there that are generic. But people are different.
