Welcome back to Chat Sh*t Get Fit. In this episode, we discuss everything weight/resistance training from why you should do it from a health standpoint to stating and explaining 3 steps to getting started and succeeding in this type of training

1.  Establishing Your Own Personal Why (Try something new? A specific goal such as competing in a weight-based sport, or joining something like the armed forces.)

2. Understanding Load Management (Not doing too much too soon, looking at the data on how much is actually required and the best way to tackle this)

3. Removing The Fear of Movement (Get stuck in! If you've nailed 2, movement won't hurt you!)

 

This episode is aimed at beginners/novices however anyone can find value especially coaches that may find value and use some of what's been discussed going forward. Resistance training is fantastic so let's remove the barriers and get everyone in the gym young, old, male, female, other and reap the benefits that come with resistance training.
