I need to drop some (a lot!
) of weight and while I am running a couple of times a week I would also like to try to tone up a bit. I have access to a basic gym at work with dumbells/Weights/Benches but no machines as such. I have never been a gym goer but would be keen to try to go 2-3 times a week in my lunchbreak and was wondering if anyone can recommend a decent app with programs/exercises etc and track progress (sets/reps/weights) etc.
KeyLifts app is very good and the free version is all you will need to begin with.
However, I would really advise that before you start get someone who knows what they are at to show you the correct technique for each kinda lift you want to do. You should really find out what your one rep max is for each lift and then devise your workout from there.
I only started about 8 weeks ago having never even looked at weights in 30 odd years and the above has really helped me.
