Mastering Weight and Strength Training for Beginners and Then Beyond!

 

You must have a fitness goal in your mind: to stay fit and active, to manage weight or become stronger. Strength and weight training helps you achieve your fitness goals!

Why Should We Practice This Training?

Well, everyone likes to hit the gym for one reason or another. But why should we specifically focus on a certain kind of training and not just go gaga on all the available machines? Well, for beginners, with a proper gym - like Stark Fitness Studio - and a professional trainer, your goals are achieved faster and more efficiently.

Weight and strength training, also at times called resistance training will help you achieve most of your fitness goals, whatever they are. The major reason for why you should pick this kind of training is for your body to benefit the maximum from gymming. Let's delve a bit deeper into it in the following sections.

The Types of Strength Or Weight Training:

The first rule of gymming is to understand not everything is for everyone. Yes, your friend might be super flexible and have the upper body strength of a superhero but that does not mean you'll try to imitate them. You'll only end up pulling a muscle or causing yourself injury if you try to copy someone in the gym.

Weight training also has different types and you must move at your own pace. Yes, your trainer will ask you to push harder…but they'll know how much harder you can push. There's no point in getting 200 sit-ups done on day 1 of gymming only to miss the next 2 days to recover from it.

Depending on your body, your calorie intake and your lifestyle, you could go for either high-volume weight training, brute strength bodybuilding (that's basically working out with as much weight as you can to grow your muscles) or go the route of circuit body weight training (which is completing a certain set of exercises with a certain amount of weight for the day).

Why Should Women Focus on Strength Training?

Weight and strength training in women makes them stronger inside and out! You build endurance, learn to push your body's limits and all the while becoming stronger day by day. Exercising keeps your body happy so you'll be flooded with happy hormones - that's just a bonus!

Don't worry about looking too buff. Almost every woman who joins the gym thinking they want to shrink their body up to a smaller size ends up wanting to build those guns. Be fit and be proud of it!
