would like your "how to" help with wt training please!

Hello everyone.  I would like to begin wt training in August.  I have been working out for over 4 months now and need to incorporate weights.  Can anyone guide me in the right direction for a beginner?  Thanks!

I know it's expensive, but I have had incredible results since I switched to a small private gym and started working out with a personal trainer there.  He shows me proper form, he makes sure I hit all the muscle groups, he pushes me way harder than I'd push myself, and he keeps me happy and motivated during my workouts.

I "dream" of having a personal trainer some day but with five kids/one income.......

 either don't do it every day or do one set of muscles one day and another the next.  the personal trainer idea is a good one, I have also found free advice at the Y.

proper form is important. remember to warm up muscles first!

edited to add: there is a fitness forum here, I assume that would get you some good advice. 

Thanks, Jackie.  Yes, this is what body-for-life recommends.  One week upper body next week lower.  

I found this great website that has lots of different exercises you can do right at home, or in a gym.  http://health.howstuffworks.com/wellness/diet-fitness/information/weight-lifting-for-women.htm

If you keep clicking on the next page button it will take you through an entire, whole body routine. 

I also have a great book that I love that takes you through why weightlifting is so good for women it's called Weightlifting Rules for Women:  Lift Like a Man and Look like a goddess.

Good luck to you.

Thanks for the info, heather.
