Weight training at home for beginners

Dumbbell Raise: These target your shoulders. You can do the side raise or front raise holding dumbbells in both hands. Since it is a basic exercise, the chances of injury are less. You can increase the weight after you get comfortable with it. Start with 2 sets of 10 reps each.

Important tips

[su_box title=”Advises Mamtaa:” style=”noise” box_color=”#fff” title_color=”#2e383f”]When performing these exercises, keep the spine in neutral position, there should be safe distance between your chest and chin, knees should be soft and inhale and exhale properly[/su_box]

It is also essential to do stretching exercises before you start weight training. Sneha adds, Strength training should be performed 3-4 times per week. Multiple exercises should be included to target all the muscles of your body. After each set of exercise 30-60 seconds rest is required. She further suggests to not work out on an empty stomach. Your body requires fuel in the form of food for better performance. Exercise on an empty stomach may lead to poor performance, tiredness, fatigue and a person will be able to work out for less period of time.

In the end, listen to your body – if something is hurting, stop doing it. Ensure you are exercising in a safe manner and in the right form, concludes Radhika.
