Hi
Im 43. Up to 3 years ago I was strong from my physical job and could happily sling sacks of animal feed and bales of hay/straw all day long.
I struggle to even lift a bale these days . I had a frozen shoulder which meant I was unable to do much. I now have the vast majority of mobility back and I really really want to get my strength back.
I no longer have a physical job and really don't do anything energetic so I really am starting from scratch. I have dumbbells and kettle bells. I would like to aim initially for regaining my strength but would really like to get some definition to my arms, thighs and bum as well as strengthening my core.
I don't eat meat but I do eat fish. Will this hold me back?
Any advice, experiences or directions to websites that may be helpful would be very much appreciated. I really want to do this I just don't know where to start.
