Strength training for beginners

TrainTransformThrive

Strength training means making your muscles work against resistance, using free weights, machines or your body weight. Beginners make good progress with two or three full-body sessions a week.

Learn the basic movement patterns first: squatting, hinging at the hips, pushing, pulling and carrying. Use light weights until your technique is steady.

Progress gradually. Add a little weight or a few reps when the current load feels controlled. Rest days matter because that is when your body adapts.

If you have an injury or a health condition, speak to a doctor before starting, and ask a trainer to guide your first sessions.
