Weightlifting Routine Help!


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!

 

I am new to this site, and I'm hoping I might be able to get some help!

First, I'll tell you a little bit about myself. I've been a competitive athlete my entire life (primarily gymnastics) and have always tried to make health and fitness one of my top priorities. I've been a vegetarian for 12 years and try to eat as little dairy as possible. In March 2008, I moved from Oregon to Pennsylvania and since the move, I've put exercise and fitness on the back burner. Well, Im finally coming out of my slump and am truly motivated to get back into shape!

 

I am trying to put together a good, solid weightlifting routine that I can stick to, and hopefully see results! I am not new to the gym, so I'm very familiar with most weight lifting exercises. I am 5'2", 103 lbs. I'm a very petite girl, but I'm tough

 

Any suggestions?? Sample workout routines would be very helpful! Thank you!

Have a happy and healthy day!
