hi timarie
wish u all luck in ur journey
plz can you post videos for the plank and side plank workouts that u do?
I found many types in youtube

Sure! Here is a simple video of the side planks position: http://www.bodybuilding.com/exercises/detail/view/name/side-bridge and a sample video of the normal planks: http://www.bodybuilding.com/exercises/detail/view/name/plank . Obviously, hold the plank position for as long as I suggested, and rotate the side planks with the normal plank for each set: a side plank on one side for 45 seconds, immediately followed by a normal plank for 45 seconds, immediately followed by a side plank for the other side for 45 seconds. Do this three times in one session (3 sets per session) with a 60 second break between each session, and do this session three times a week (with days evenly spread apart- example: Monday, Wednesday, Friday). As you progress and get stronger, gradually increase to 5 sets per session, and 60 second holds.

I was given these suggestions by my friend who is a certified personal trainer and was a former competitive body builder, so this exact routine is not posted anywhere online. So, these videos were the best I could do. Sorry!!

Okay thanks for the advice! Ohmygosh that last part gave me a good laugh! Yea I wasn't expecting the bar to be heavy at all. Okay regular squats it is for a while!

Great. It is so important to have good form. No amount of heavy weight will do a person any good if they do not have good form, so starting with your body weight should allow you to master the art of the squat before you pick up the weights... and when you do get to picking up the weights, your exercises will be THAT much more effective. Good luck!!!
