Can anyone recommend how to start weight training?
elirules replied to Jeff M.'s topic in Fitness & Exercise
Get some 10 lb dumbbells. Start with standing overhead presses and goblet squats.. 3 sets each 6-8 reps. 2-3 times a week, when it gets easier add another set. Weight training is crucial to add and maintain muscle mass. -
