Strength training: How-to video collection

Weightlifting with machines, resistance tubes, and body weight exercises.

Too bad that the trainers at your gym are not more hands on.

The original Body For Life book by Bill Phillips is terrific for starting out. It is out of print but you can get copies on eBay. Easy to read and clear instructions. Includes a great routine and nutrition advice. Cannot recommend it enough, it changed my life.

Full title is

Body For Life
12 Weeks to Mental and Physical Strength

by Bill Phillips, Michael DOrso
