Weightlifting: Train, Don’t Strain

You have no idea where to begin. Right now, the fitness facility looks more like something out of the Spanish inquisition than a means of well-being. You are fearful of the “no pain no gain” people that seem to frequent exercise establishments. You are afraid of getting injured, or worse…..dying! You feel that you do not have enough time or energy to put into exercise. Over my career as a personal trainer, I’ve dealt with many people who were intimidated by the gym. Yet, they all learned there was nothing to be afraid of. Resistance training, often called weightlifting, can appear confusing. However, it doesn’t take long to figure it out and feel right at home in the gym.
