Why Strength Training is Essential
Strength training isn't just for bodybuilders; it's beneficial for everyone. It helps build muscle mass, boost metabolism, improve bone density, increase energy levels, and enhance overall fitness.
Getting Started with Strength Training
Start Slowly: Begin with lighter weights or bodyweight exercises to master proper form and avoid injury. I always say, “form over everything!” You never want to add weight to a dysfunctional movement pattern. Speaking of form…
Focus on Form! Correct form is crucial for maximizing results and preventing injury
Listen to Your Body: Rest when you need to and don't push yourself too hard, especially in the beginning
Progressive Overload: Gradually increase the weight, reps, or sets as you get stronger. This will allow you to see results week to week
Consistency is Key: Aim for at least 2-3 strength training sessions per week
