I just read an article on Medicinenet.com. It can be quite enlightening to any newcomers to weight training. Although it does not go into extreme detail about weight lifting it does give some great tips on where to start. Trying to figure out where to start is, in my opinion the hardest part of training. For someone who has no knowledge on anything weight training related it can be almost impossible. In the article by Richard Weil, he describes everything from how many sets/reps to do, what exercises, how to focus on strength or toning, and almost everything else a beginner needs. I even learned a few things from the article and I’ve been lifting for years. However, this is an article by a doctor who researched weight training and does not specialize in it. Also, the website is a health website not a site devoted for physical fitness so the reader should know that this is not the only source to refer to. However, in my opinion this is a great way to start off and get the blood flowing.

That website seems to be very helpful. It has a lot of information,and like you said, it is very helpful for anyone wanting to start weight lifting. Also, I like that it has some information that can help if someone were to injure themselves while weight lifting.
ReplyDeleteYes, it definitely is a great site for not only beginners but even for people like me with experience.
