#11: How to choose your starting weight & when to increase the weight you're lifting (& how to apply progressive overload)

from Menopause Strength Training & Fitness | 40+ Fitness for Women · host Lynn Sederlöf-Airisto

One of the top questions that people new to weight training struggle with is how much weight should they actually be lifting. In this episode, I go over how to choose your starting weight for a new exercise and when to progress to a higher weight. I am using rep ranges as a tool here as I feel it is the easiest to understand and follow for those who are starting out weight training. In addition, I review the concept of progressive overload and why you should apply progressive overload and how to do it in practice. So you'll get answers to the following questions:What weight should I start with?When should I increase the weight I'm lifting?What is progressive overload?How do I apply progressive overload in practice?How do I work with rep ranges?Happy lifting!#weighttraining101 #startliftingweights #howtolift #progressiveoverload #repranges #howtoliftweightsSend me your thoughts 😃Support the showJoin my strength training membership > Learn to Lift with my 10-week program >Get my free guide: How to Start Strength Training After 40 >> Lose fat faster with my Midlife Fat Loss Formula >Subscribe to my weekly newsletter>>Let's connect!Instagram >Facebook >YouTube >My website >
