commodorifiedWhat if I were a 46 year old woman who is both active (bikes, swimming, hiking, snowshoeing) AND somewhat disabled/in chronic pain (scoliosis and a dodgy shoulder at the top of my back and hyperflexibility/sciatica/bursitis at the bottom) AND I'd tried doing weights (machines, largely, due to a horrid fear of breaking myself through incompetence if I tried free weights except for curls) and then got bored and stopped doing it ...
And I suddenly decided that I wanted to be able to pick up my own weight (190, +/-) and hold it over my head and put it down again?
Where would I start? Should I start? Is there some other goal I should consider first or instead? What kind of time/money/energy commitment am I looking at here?
My local community centre has a good weight room and my favourite trainer in the world works there and I can afford to buy some time with her. So there's that.
