I've lost 7 pounds since November - Page 3

Conne I weigh the exact same since I started working out and managing my diet but my endurance, strength and physique have all improved dramatically and my chest has gone up a size while my waist has dropped more then a whole size.

Good for you but remember weight loss is not necessarily a great barometer of fitness and health.

That's a good point when people aren't fat but they aren't really lean either. Weight doesn't tell much of the story.

Does anyone have a good "beginner's routine" for lifting? I get kind of intimidated around the weights because I don't feel like I know what to do. A video or step-by-step guide would be helpful.

Starting Strength by Rippetoe is a good one.

Conne tackling any sort of oft-recommended strength routine has the potential to be one of the most entertaining threads in Styleforum history.
