Weight Training

WHY: Weight training is important for so many reasons including strength, muscle maintenance, injury prevention and weight loss.

HOW: There are endless ways to split your weight training but whatever way you split remember to always train all the muscles every week. Don’t exclude muscle groups because you don’t want to ‘get big’ and don’t focus on muscle groups because you think that they need extra work. All muscles were born equal and all muscles deserve love.

More information on ways you split your weight training and other variable factors is available in the Weight Training Guide.
