So I am already feeling the effects of lock down - I have put weight on already and am wanting to look at how I can use the time to moderate my diet and exercise. Currently 90kg, 36" waist and 5ft 7. I would like to achieve weight loss to 75kg and waist 32". I would like to grow to 6ft too, but at 37 I don't think that's a number I can impact.

I am an ex-runner and found it quite tedious when I was doing it - Would prefer some cardio routine I can do in the home, but I would like to do some weights alongside - Not something I have really done before. Just looking for something basic to keep me active, create some longer calorie burn and make sure I am not just slimming to skinny (I have no interest in "gains", just want to end up with a bit of tone).

What sort of weights should I be looking to get? Obviously something basic, but can anyone make some recommendations for me?

TIA
 
So what would be the difference between using Kettle Bells and Dumbbells? Seems there are plenty around online to order for delivery :) (And what KG would you recommend for someone starting out if going for three different weights?)
 
I have a belly, so not fit at all - I do dog agility which means I have short bursts of running about doing that, and walking, but that's about it. I can move and run without it being "effort" as such and I have plenty of upper body strength but just average size muscles. I am quite broad, so that probably helps. Linking that up then, maybe I should get a 1,3,5 set for now and move to 10 once I have a better basic fitness back?
 
Nice.

Weights are currently the 5L bottles of water, since I can't find anything in stock anywhere apart from professional stuff which It just silly money for home use.
 
Had a look at the TRX... also out of stock!

The worst thing is knowing 80% of what had been bought by other people has probably been used once and is now sat gathering dust.
