How To Lift Weights

Are you tired of being weak? Do you want to recover fast after a sports injury? Or maybe you just want to do one of the best activities for getting lean and strong. Now what? Where do you begin? You know what and where to go but you don't know how to exactly lift. Don't worry, these tips and advise are simple and easy to follow to prevent injury, and get you the in the best shape you have ever been in. When lifting the one thing that everyone who lifts will agree on is technique, technique, technique. If you start small with weights and work on technique you have already surpassed the main component of lifting. A weight you can lift comfortably 12 to 17 times is a good weight to begin with. Focus on lifting the weight correctly and slowly for the most effective burn. If your unsure that you are doing an exercise incorrectly ask a personal trainer or other fitness specialist for help. As your lifting the weight be sure to breathe. Too often people forget to breathe and hold their breath. In the long run this can be dangerous as holding the breathe can increase blood pressure. The days you plan to lift weight be sure to work different body parts as this creates balance. You don't want huge biceps and small legs ( as is seen too often). By creating a balance you are working all of your major muscles and making sure each muscle is as equally stronger as the other. For example, do arm exercise on Monday, legs on Tuesday, and so on. Be sure to not rush through the workout and don't overdo it. Lastly be sure to get enough rest in between sets and outside the gym. Avoid working the same muscles in days at a time. Remember the more you do it the more experienced you will become and it will be a piece of cake! Just don't give up, and reap the rewards of lifting weights.
