Hi,
I am a 40 year old lady returning to training, I want to use weights as a way of increasing muscle mass.
currently i am training for one hour every two days with light weights, sit ups some boxercice, going to the gym once or twice a week,
I want to go into the weights room, but in the uk there arnt too many women who use the weights room.
having read through the stickies i am not afraid to use weights now realizing that i wont gain the muscle that i was afraid of gaining, thanks to your great threads on the subject.
I am currently 101 lbs
bmi 17.5
hight 5 foot five and a half inches
eating average 1800 calories a day.
i take vitamins every day. calcium cod liver oil, etc.

i did one of those online body fat test, but it said that i had 24% body fat.
i just want help and advice on what to do in the weights room, what do i need to start doing?

are those online tests accurate? it seems awful high to me lol. i read through some stuff that says at my age that level is acceptable, but i would like to reduce it somehow.

so hope that you can all help me.
