    Exercise advice!

    I'm looking for advice and ideas for type and amount of exercise for TTC boy, particularly of the weight lifting and muscle building variety! I'm naturally extremely slender (8 stone and 5'6) so know I need to bulk up!

    I don't have a gym membership so it needs to be things I can do at home (I know DH has some small weights in the garage!).

    Many thanks!

    Exercise advice!

    I personally love anything from Jillian Michaels! In order to increase muscle mass, weight lifting will only be a part of what you need to do. You have increase your calories to have a surplus and a high protein intake. This is difficult for most women. Weight lifting alone burns more calories and increases fat burning, which brings your lean muscle into view. People mistake seeing muscle definition for an increase in muscle mass, which is not the case. Weight lifting, calorie surplus (from healthy foods!), and increase in protein = increase in muscle mass (increase in body weight but from muscle not fat)

    GL!

    I like the Firm videos and they had a couple cheap ones on there!

    I did Taebo and really like that as well.

    Definitely start off with the lightest weights you can get. I think most women will see better results with small light weights.
