Strength training at home

Although I manage quite a bit of yoga and go for the occasional run (when I "run" out of excuses), I've been thinking about attempting some weight training at home.


This is because I'm aware my body feels weaker than it could be, and having just turned 40, it seems like an opportune time to begin a new resolution.


The website NHS Choices says "To reduce the rate of natural bone loss that occurs from age 35 onwards, aim to do muscle-strengthening activities at least two days a week". This includes "moderate-resistance weightlifting", or "exercising with resistance bands".
