TRAIN MEAN

FIRST, SOME THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT LIFTING

​

​~HEAVY WEIGHTS: Heavy weights & lower Reps = Muscle Gain

4 Sets of descending Reps. 

​

Ex) 10, 8, 6, 4   or 10, 8, 8, 6  or 10, 8, 8, 8  etc.



~ LIGHT WEIGHTS: Light weights & high Reps = Muscle Tone

 

Ex) 12, 12, 15, 15 or 12, 15, 15, 15, etc.



​

​It is hard to teach anything when it is not in person, especially for something like this because safety and form is so crucial when lifting weights, you need to have a deep understanding of how to really workout. It is not fun to be injured and not be able to workout for a couple weeks, or get injured so bad you can never go back.

I recommend getting a personal trainer at least to learn the basics, show you a few moves, and just give you a feel. Or don't be afraid to ask someone next to you!



~For one, ALWAYS WARM UP before you head to the weight rack!! You never want to lift heavy right off the bat, start out with light weights so you don't pull or strain anything.  Warm up on the elliptical for 5 minutes or jump rope as well to get the blood flowing.



~You want to switch up your workout routines every couple weeks as well. You won't change your body nor grow muscle if you are always doing the same stuff; your body will get used to it, so you need to "shock the muscles," meaning you need to do different movements your body is not used to forcing those muscles to be used.



-There are so many exercises out there, so many modifications, or amplifications to make them harder or easier, or to just tend to your body needs.
