@Kimberly For beginners I would recommend starting off with the weight machines, because you are less likely to injure yourself and use incorrect posture.

If you are new to weight training it is best to exercise with a partner that is more knowledgeable until you are comfortable with the exercises. And if that isn’t an option you can hire a personal trainer for a few sessions to show you the machines and help you work out an individualized program according to your goals.

Just wondering if you have any suggestions for a beginning weight training program for the whole body. Or free web sites with programs that you think are good.

Thanks

Very good information. I have been doing resistance machines but I will get to the free weights one of these days.
