Start with small steps

The biggest mistake that people make when starting an exercise plan is starting too fast or too hard. Take your time – and strive to make exercise and strength training a lifelong habit. You’ll be on your way to a strong, independent, and vibrant life!

After the first week or so of strength training, you should start doing each exercise with weights that you can lift at least ten times with only moderate difficulty. (If a given exercise seems too difficult—if you cannot do at least eight repetitions—then the weight you are using is too heavy and you need to scale back.) No worries – take your time. Small steps lead to big results! Just keep at it!

After a couple weeks of strength training, you should reassess the difficulty of each exercise with your current level of weights. You may start doing the overhead press with one-pound dumbbells, for example. By the end of the second week, the exercise may feel too easy—that is, you can easily lift the one-pound dumbbell through the full range of motion and in proper form more than twelve times. You should now step up your weights to two- or three-pound dumbbells and see how the exercise feels at the new weight level.

To take full advantage of the many benefits of strength training, it’s important to consistently increase the intensity of your workout by challenging your muscles with heavier weights. This continuous challenge helps your muscles grow strong – and stay that way! Progressing will boost your feelings of accomplishment and your self esteem!

Make the choice – start slow and gradually increase your time and intensity. And, be sure to include some time for stretching! Stretching will help keep your muscles flexible! Building Muscles
