I realize that working with a trainer would be ideal, at least a few times until I make sure that my form is OK. I guess it's a matter of budget... I'm trying to be careful with my bank account, but maybe I will have to make that effort.
The first two weight lifting sessions I prepared at home by visualizing the exercises and reviewing them with my husband to make sure I understood what was described in the book. Other than that, I bring the book to the gym and mindfully re-read the explanation before I start each set.
That way I feel that a teacher is there with me reminding me how to perform it.

I have been warming up by walking in a treadmill for 15 min. and doing some of the exercises just with body weigh as shown in the book. I plan to incorporate some glute-activation exercises into the warm up.
Thank you for writing, Maggie. It's very encouraging having people respond.
