Does anyone here, I know someone here is a physical trainer, know a good routine for women beginning weight training, especially one that can be done without a gym membership/buying some big expensive multiple weight training machine? I want to do a bit of weight training between my days off running, because I heard you lose weight best that way because building muscle makes your metabolism increase. I'm a complete beginner though, I've never done weight training. I have absolutely no upper body strength so that might be a place to start!

Oh, and I ran my full 20 minute run yesterday!
Starting Strength is pretty much the best thing for anyone new to weight lifting. Unfortunately you are going to need either a gym membership or to buy some equipment.

And it's true, bigger muscles need more energy.
