Low-impact cardio is perfectly fine, just no high-intensity cardio or HIIT style. Looking for a guide to tell me which body part to focus on, which exercises, sets/reps. A gym-based fitness guide for women: When I join a gym again (In August - after I'm done w/ grad school due to cost) I would like to fully get back to lifting.Not HIIT focused or have it as a minimum if it is in there. Strength-based workout focused and can include bodyweight. A home-based fitness guide for women: I have access to my apartment gym which has dumbbells, resistance bands, and a cable machine.Unrealistic to keep attempting this if I plan to stay consistent with working out, therefore am avoiding these types of workouts. When I attempt HIIT workouts I get light-headed, get close to passing out, and develop hives. I do not enjoy HIIT-based workouts whatsoever and I also cannot physically do them since I have a kidney disease and my kidney doc told me to avoid HIIT & Cross Fit type workouts because of the focus on a fast heartbeat and overload of high-intensity. The biggest difficulty that I'm running into most is that many are HIIT-based workouts. I've checked out a few guides based on posts from here and most are good but not exactly quite what I'm looking for. I've been looking around and lurking on Reddit posts but it's VERY overwhelming with the amount fitness women and people out there and guides. It's also been about 4 years since I've consistently worked out so I've realized that I need to start from the basics again. I recently retried one of Lais De Leon's challenges through her app but it's expensive & I felt that it was a bit too much and unrealistic for a single gym sesh. I feel like a badass when lifting and feeling like a badass is what motivates me to work out. These were all strength-based and I loved that. I also liked knowing that I was closer to the finish line and had a sense of accomplishment when completing plans/challenges. When I was 17-19, I used to follow Lais De Leon's fitness guides for at home and at the gym, and having a structured plan (what body part to work out, which exercises to do, # sets/reps) was wonderful for me as I have ADHD and it made working out much easier for me. (Don't care about scale weight as long as I'm losing fat & toning up) I'm currently 26 years old and would like to work on incorporating exercise back into my life and losing around 15-20 lbs to reduce fat while gaining muscle.
