Why Lift Weights?
Strength training isn’t just for bodybuilders. It improves bone density, boosts metabolism, and enhances functional strength for daily activities.
Getting Started
If you’re new, start with bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups, and lunges. Focus on mastering the form before adding weights.
Progression
Once comfortable, incorporate dumbbells or resistance bands. Remember the principle of progressive overload: gradually increasing the weight or resistance to keep challenging your muscles. Don’t forget to rest muscle groups for 48 hours between sessions!
