-Dont forget to stretch before any physical activity. Stretching makes the muscles loose and pliable.
Breathing
It seems kind of silly for someone to remind you to breathe, but you would be surprised. People tend to forget this and when they exercise they take these tiny little breaths. Anyway the debate rages on but I have found that the larger volume of air I get in and out, the better. So I breathe in through the mouth out and out through the mouth. I'm not saying this is the correct way all I'm saying is that's what I found works for me. For weight training,when you are in the lifting phase of the exercise, breath in,you should exhale on the lowering part of the movement. Like I said before, this is what works for me. Others feel that you should just breathe naturally throughout the exercise.
Frequency of Workouts
For best results you will want to train with weights 2 - 3 times per week for about 30 - 45 minutes, working on 2 or 3 different muscle groups for
each workout. Once you can lift the same number of reps with relative ease, adjust your weights accordingly. Maybe keep a journal monitoring weights and reps.
Rest and Recuperation
Just a suggestion but as far as rest goes, one day on, one day off. Then take the weekend off.
And if your too sore or tired, stay home and recuperate. Especially in the beginning.
Lift and lower your weights slowly.
Don't use momentum to lift the weight. If you have to swing to get the weight up, your probably trying to lift too much weight.
Partner Up
Consider lifting with a friend. It helps keeping you motivated and eyerybody could use a spotter.
