Hi all,
My missus is looking to lose a few kgs and 'tone up'. There are so many programs etc out there I don't know where would be a good place for her to start.
I'm pretty sure I can take care of her diet, but I'm not sure what sort of program to put her on.
Starting strength? 5x5? Or for someone looking to lose weight and not necessarily gain muscle, would a high rep program be more appropriate? Free weights or machines? Compound or isolation?
If it was me (starting from scratch), I'd think starting strength or 5x5 or something similar.
Would this be appropriate for a female looking to start out? I don't want to 'intimidate' her with all the big exercises if possible... She is new to everything.
Cheers
