Ready to begin your journey to a stronger, healthier you?
The goal: I want to help you feel stronger and more confident working with weights.
What is strength training?
There are many ways to strength train and various types of strength goals.
The activity of our muscles when we train enhances osteoblast (bone-building cells) activity.
Research published inFrontiers in Physiologysuggests that myokines have the ability toprevent or improve metabolic diseases2.
Improvements in self-confidence & quality of life
Strength training helpspromote physical capability.
Consider it a lifelong practice of learning and improving.
Even the top strength athletes have coaches throughout their professional careers.
I also encourage you to be fearless, not reckless.
It’s all part of the learning curve.
Another common mistake is sticking with a weight that doesn’t serve you.
If you have the ability to try out different loads, c’mon do.
I often see someone use the same load for arm andleg exercises.
Why is that an issue?
Generally most people’s legs can handle more weight than their upper.
Progressing your workout:
So how does one safely progress the level of difficulty of your home workouts?
I like to use the rate of perceived exertion as the barometer.
That means you’re getting stronger, and it’s time to ante up.
This helps you maintain intra-abdominal pressure, which will help you feel more stable.
The most important thing is to listen to your body, and progress accordingly.
You’ll notice I didn’t specify certain days of the week.
That’s because I want this to work for you and your schedule.
