Work out resistance training for weight loss?

[tash]

Hi everyone!

After being unwell & unable to work out for the past 18 months I have put on 20kgs
I have just been given the all clear, my diet is healthy & I’m keen to get back into some resistance training for weight loss.
I’m happy to lose slowly & steadily & already have my cardio sorted out (swimming & brisk walking)
Can anyone give me a basic idea on what resistance excercises work best for women looking to lose weight?
Perhaps suggest a program?

I am 5’9 and weigh 85kgs.
I would be able to manage 30 minutes per day 3 times a week.
I understand this isn’t as much as everyone here undertakes but I am not looking to get ‘cut’ just lose weight & tone up.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Tash. Check the stickes at the top of this forum. There are 4 of them about resistance training/weight training and one specifically addressing weight lifting for women.

There's a lot of good info there.
