Weight Training For Better Health

Weight training is a form of exercise that, when done correctly, can provide many benefits. It can help you to get stronger more quickly and efficiently than other forms of exercise, which means you will be able to do more work in less time. There are also plenty of weight loss benefits associated with weight training. Weight lifting builds muscle mass and increases your metabolism so you can burn calories faster.

Weight Training Equipment

What is the best equipment for weight training? It really depends on what you’re looking for. You can go to the gym and use weight machines, dumbbells, or barbells and more. Or you might want a home gym with lots of different equipment so that you have more variety in your workouts.

What kind of weights do I need? You don’t necessarily need a large number of weights to do weight lifting exercises. If you are a beginner, it’s best that the weights you use are in the range of three and ten pounds for dumbbells, or five and twenty pounds for barbells. You can work on different muscle groups by changing your grip or using a heavier weight.

What Are The Benefits Of Weight Training At A Gym?

Is it better to work out at home or do weight training at a gym? The answer is really personal preference. Working out at a gym gives you access to lots of different equipment, so if your goal is variety in your workouts and learning new things then it’s best for you. If working out with others motivates you, or the idea of having trainers as resources sounds good, then a gym might be perfect for you.

What Are The Benefits Of Weight Training At Home?

Working out at home is a great option for people who like to work out alone and don’t need the motivation of other gym members. Working out at home also helps you save money, but only if you continue to workout. If you purchase a few thousand dollars worth of equipment and rarely use it, then your home workouts are very expensive. Another benefit of weight training on your own time at home is that it leaves more time for other activities, since you avoid driving to and from the gym.

Weight Training – Gym Vs. Home

Who sticks with the weight training longer, people who work out at a gym or people who workout at home?

It turns out that people who are part of a weight-training athletic club stick with it longer than people training at home, according to research studies. The research found there was no difference in how often they trained between those utilizing gym equipment and those using their own weights around the house. However, gym training people continued with their weight training for more months (even years) longer than home workout oriented exercisers.

You might be wondering why people who train at a gym tend to stick with it longer. Some of the reasons are: Higher social contact – When you work out in front of other people, you’re less likely to give up or walk away from your workout early because someone might see you. Gym members often have a workout partner to keep them accountable Better accountability – Having a gym membership means that there’s always someone around who can hold you more accountable for your workouts than if you were working out at home with just yourself as the person responsible for tracking your progress.

Using A Professional Trainer

Most gyms offer the services of a professional trainer. A trainer can help you stay motivated and accountable for your workouts. You’re more likely to work out if someone is waiting for you at the gym than if they know that you’ll be working out by yourself on your own time.

A professional trainer will also show you how to properly execute exercises in a safe manner, and can personalize the types of exercises you do based on your individual needs. If for example, if you have no experience with weight training, a trainer will be able to introduce you to a workout routine gradually.

Weight Loss With Weight Training Exercise

Keep in mind is that not all exercises are created equal. Exercise should be tailored to your personal goals. For weight loss, you will want to include more cardio exercises like running or biking and less strength training with heavy weights.

A quality gym will feature treadmills, elliptical machines, stationary bikes, and stair steppers to add variety into your weight training regime. Also, circuit training is an excellent way to continue to work with weights while increasing cardio. Circuit training consists of moving from one exercise to another rapidly while using very moderate weights for each exercise.

Note: Gravity Fitness and Tennis has all the equipment you need for cardio and circuit training.
