A Beginner’s Guide to Resistance Training 

I have conversations with people on a daily basis about the advantages of resistance training, how it may enhance your life, how to organize your workouts for the most outstanding outcomes, etc.

But here’s the truth…

• You do not need the most comprehensive idea,

• You do not have to spend a significant amount of time at the gym every day,

• You are not required to go every day,

• You are not required to be motivated,

• You just have to get the job done.

The following are examples of a simple 30-minute session:

• Warm up for 5 minutes, for example, on a stationary bicycle or a treadmill.

• Do at least three sets with 10 repetitions of legs, bodyweight squats, or goblet squats.

• Perform a push, chest press, or push-ups for three sets of 10 reps.

• Do a pullup, pulldown, or seated row for three sets of 10 reps.

• Perform stretches for the calf, hamstring, quads, lower back, and chest. Hold each for 30 seconds—1 minute.

• Then the 30-minute session is done.

Try this out for a minimum of three months and see how you like it before deciding whether or not to increase the frequency.
