Lift weights at home?

[Anonymous]

I dont know much of weight lifting, i just would like to lose little bit of weigh and tone my muscles. But i dont have thr time to go to the gym, nor i have money to buy all those equipment to do it at home. I do have dumbbells but what kind of exercise do i do?

Realistically speaking, if you can't employ linear progression (increasing the weight as you grow stronger, which requires having access to a lot of different increments of dumbbells), you won't be able to see much progress in terms of adding muscle. If all you have is 1 or 2 sets of dumbbells that aren't adjustable, you're better off going with a 100% bodyweight based program that uses no weight at all. Download the app You Are Your Own Gym and follow the workout in that app.

I used to a year ago but then was told to stop = any muscle definition isn't good for web or runway or fittings.

Me not dating competition body builders anymore = me NOT wanting that kind of body now :P

just do the basics
squats, toe raises, curls, tricep extensions, shoulder press, abs (whatever workouts u like to do)

Do bodyweight/calisthenics. I've switched over to them exclusively, and can do everything at home. The only thing you'd need is to get a pull up bar (they aren't much money).

Take a look at the Convict Conditioning books. They're great, and they show you exercises to do that start easy, then get more advanced, so you can do the ones most appropriate for you (e. g., you won't start with pull ups because they're hard, you'll work your way up to them).
