It is essential to pick the correct weights to ensure a safe and successful workout. Aim to pick heavy enough weights to get a challenging workout but not so heavy that you compromise form or safety.
here are some tips to help pick the correct weights:
- Use light weights until you feel comfortable that you have the correct form down.
- Pick weights where you can do at least 12 reps without fatigue, but by rep number 20 you should be really feeling the burn.
- If you can't keep correct form for the duration of the exercise drop to lighter weights.
- You may need different size weights for different parts of the body. Typically larger muscles groups such as the glutes or quads require heavier weights. You may have to go lighter for smaller muscles such as arms or abs.
Lifting weights is a great way to tone and strengthen muscles. Weights are a great fat sizzling addition to a cardio workout!
