I've never done resistance training, what are the best exercises to start with?

The best exercises to start with if you’ve never done resistance training are bodyweight exercises like push-ups, pull-ups, squats, and lunges as they require no equipment and are a great way to become familiar with controlling your own body and developing strength. You can also incorporate weightlifting exercises such as bench pressing, deadlifts, and bicep curls using either dumbbells or a barbell. Once you’ve become more comfortable with the heavier resistance training exercises, you can then begin to incorporate more complex movements like power cleans, snatches, and box jumps.
