I started strength / resistance training about four months ago, and I've lost at least 15 pounds and have gained considerable strength from working out 4x a week - this is without substantially cutting my calorie intake either. I really cannot describe how good I feel. Additional strength, better posture, less frequent back and shoulder pains (which, the few times they've come up, have resolved within a day - rarely the case before I started working out), better diet, awareness of calorie and macronutrient consumption and sense of accomplishment are all factors that I feel good about. I'll give a plug for Mind Pump [1] and MAPS Fitness Products programs [2]. No affiliation aside from being a customer. I just finished the MAPS Starter program (a three month program). With one of their 60% discounts it set me back less than $40. I bought a pair of adjustable dumbbells and a $30 fitness ball and was able to do everything in the program. I did get a bench, too, but it wasn't strictly necessary (though I preferred the stability of the bench for certain exercises). Tao of Stefan [4] has some pretty thorough reviews of MAPS products. As for their programs, you can get on their mailing list and wait for one of their (usually) monthly 50% discounts. Or you can get Sal DiStefano's book [3] and use some of the programs in there. There's one program that can be done entirely with resistance bands - at home or on the go. Or you can just watch all their free content on YouTube and figure it out from there! 1. https://www.youtube.com/c/MindPumpTV https://www.youtube.com/c/MindPumpTV 2. https://www.mindpumpmedia.com/maps-fitness-products https://www.mindpumpmedia.com/maps-fitness-products 3. https://theresistancetrainingrevolution.com/ https://theresistancetrainingrevolution.com/ 4. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyAV1LG0A66Hd75HSSco76Q/videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyAV1LG0A66Hd75HSSco76Q/vid...
