I have generally been a cardio guy most of my life and I'm thinking of adding some strength training. What I would like to do is 3-4 days of zone 2 and 1 day of high intensity cardio. Then sprinkle in some strength training at the end of my workout. I don't really care about weight or bulk. Just interested in fitness and function. I previously used a power tower for pull ups, dips but had issues with my ulnar nerves so I stopped those exercises. I have been using a vertical climber recently.
Does anybody have suggestions for strength training? I don't want a gym membership. I am not looking to get a huge garage gym. But I was thinking of getting a set of dumbbells or maybe kettlebells.
If you are just going to get some basic things what should you get? What are good basic exercises? Should I not get anything and just do body weight exercises?
