Pretty much everyone can benefit from strength training of some kind.
What makes strength training so great is that it doesn’t just give you toned and strong muscles.
Many gyms come equipped with free weights, like dumbbells, barbells, and kettlebells (so many bells!
), and various weight machines, designed to work different muscles.
Weight machines don’t allow for other muscle groups to help out (viahumanmovement).
One hack if you’re anxious about using a machine for the first time or if it’s busy?
There are more workout variation and options with free weights.
You’re the one controlling the weight and the speed at which you’re lifting.
But just because you’ve got the option to swing a weight around doesn’t mean you should.
There is some serious injury potential with free weights because of that freedom.
