Hi Kiltgirl,
5 workouts per week
5 exercises per muscle group
4 sets of 12
Keep weights low to start with gradually increase every week till you can't lift any more then just maintain.
I can type out all the individual exercises I do or you can choose ones that suit the weights you have just let me know.
The muscle groups are 1. Triceps 2. Chest 3. Back 4. Biceps & Shoulders 5. Legs
Hope that helps but please ask if you need more.
Lx
Thanks Lynn

I think I have vague memories of doing weights at the gym, a different lifetime ago now! Will get my lil weights out from under my bed and give them a go...really not looking forward to squats haha but I think I'm going to need some strength. Do you cover all areas in each session or do one area each day?
I stopped smoking 7 weeks ago, I think when I realised the Mirena wasn't going to be the solution and the hysterectomy was the next step...but with that and the wonky hormones and anxiety et al I've bunged on a bit of weight...kinda looking like one of those fertility statues right now...with acne, sexeee!
Awake at 3.40am checking out support knickers for post-op so I can feel ok walking about without my scars wobbling about and thinking about kegels...
nearly time to get up...

Do you do warm up before your weights? I have bad tendons and anytime I went in for starjumps or similar I would twang a calf muscle...
