I don’t have a gym membership or room for weight training equipment. I get a lot of cardio in during the week but I want to add weight training to my workout. Any good weight training videos out there you can suggestion? I searched Amazon.com and the list was long and the reviews mixed on some of the videos I looked at. Looking for clear instructions and easily understood demonstrations. Thanks!
