4 Tips for Starting a Strength Training Routine

You’ve heard that strength training is an important part of getting healthy and you’re ready to try it, but where do you start?

This week’s episode of Tighten + Tone Tuesday is a great choice (in my humble opinion…)!

Since week 3 of the #30DayChallenge is all about Showcasing Your Strength, I thought it was the perfect time to review some basics of doing just that.

In this week’s episode you will learn:

1. The number one mistake most people make when adding strength training to their fitness routines.
2. How many reps you should be doing to reach your fitness and/or weight loss goals.
3. How many sets you need to complete for each exercise.
4. How many total strength sessions you should fit in each week and how to space them out for proper recovery and results.

It’s a lot of info all packed into a less than 7 min video (and I don’t even think I was talking all that fast!).

Now that you’ve watched this week’s video, it’s time to take action!
