Weight Training in Halifax, How Much Weight Should I Use

How Much Weight Should I Use If I am A Beginner

If you would like to start weight training in Halifax there are plenty of great gyms you can use, but ideally you should start off by really getting to know how to do the exercises.

Beginners should select a weight that you can perform 12 - 20 repetitions. This is a very light weight for strength or muscle building work. If you are new to weight training your tendons and ligaments as well as smaller supportive muscles will need to get stronger and will not be able to cope safely with large amounts of weight.

Another reason to use weights that aren't too challenging at first is to be able to learn the exercises correctly. Once you have mastered this then you can move on to more substantial weights.

I suggest at least 4 weeks on lighter weights or approximately 12 workouts before increasing your weights and decreasing the repetitions you use.
