Spring Workout-Strength Trainng

Grab the weights and start lifting!!   If you belong to a Health Club, you have access to many forms of strength workouts.  If you don't have a personal trainer, ask a floor fitness person to help you.  If you haven't done any strength work before, start with the machines making sure whatever machine you may be using is adjusted correctly.   Once you are comfortable with the machines and have gained strength, moving to free weights would be next on the list. 

For those of you who do not belong to a club, you can find dumbbells, stability balls, bands, etc. at any discount store.  Most will come with an instructional DVD...watch it closely and be sure you are always using  correct form.

And, correct form is so important....not only for obtaining optimal results, but more importantly preventing injury!!  

When traveling or on vacation you can always do push ups, squats, lunges and crunches in a hotel room if there is no access to a fitness  center.  

Again, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions...
