Very good stuff. I’ve been lifting on and off for nearly 40 years, so I don’t have a very good feel for what is approachable for beginners. Large amounts of time, elaborate equipment, expensive trainers, special clothing, and so forth are not necessary. Youth is also not necessary to get started. Walking, gardening, and other activities are only enhanced by proper strength training; it doesn’t replace them, and it has benefits that go far beyond what other activities can provide.
Mark Sisson at Mark’s Daily Apple is another good resource, though nutrition is more of his focus.
MDA is a great program/tool
Up into my mid forties I could bench press nearly twice my weight having done bodyweight/enhanced body weight exercises he recommends for several years
A big favorite of mine. He just recently had a blog post on this topic.
Haven’t heard of Mark’s Daily Apple. Checked it out. Good resource.
