Where to start can be a bit of a mine field, as well as a bit intimidating. Everything looks so complicated and hard to use. I promise you it's simple. If you are a little intimidated and not sure what to do I would reccomend starting with machines. They often have a little picture of how to set them up, and how to use them. Some even have little QR codes with videos of what to do. This make your life so much easier and you can't really go wrong from there. You can also push yourself really hard without worrying about your technique breaking down as a machine wont allow you to do that. If however you are a bit more confident, have used machines a little before, or have input from a personal trainer. Then I would reccomend starting with Free weights. One of the big downsides of machines is they don't allow for all the little differences in our bodies, which means they don't feel great for 90% of the people using them. Where as free weights can be adapted to suit litterally anyone. They also challenge all the little stabalisation muscles as well which is an added bonus, and seem to have a greater impact on your bone strength as they load the whole skeleton. However, it really doesn't matter where you start. Only that you start so go in pick a few things and get lifting!
