How to start using weights

The worst thing you can do when you start lifting weights is to think you’re Arnold Schwarzenegger on the first go. So start light, and increase as you get stronger.

• Start with a weight that you can lift 10 to 15 times with proper form (this will be between 2kg and 8kg for most people).
• Begin with 1 or 2 sets of 10 to 15 reps, and slowly progress to 3 sets or more.
• Gradually increase the weight by 5 to 10% when you can easily do the recommended number of sets and reps.

How effective is weight training?

Finder’s wellbeing expert Amelia Glean answers

Weight training is a great form of exercise for people of all ages. Two or three 20 or 30-minute strength training sessions a week can result in significant health benefits such as increased muscle mass, stronger bones and improved metabolism.

1. Fat loss

While weight training isn’t always considered part of a weight-loss programme, lifting weights can help you burn just as much fat, or more, than running or cycling. This is all to do with the building of muscle, which burns calories at a greater rate. Weight training can also boost your metabolism.

2. Bone health

Most of us know that strength training can help build and maintain muscle mass. What many of us don’t know is that strong muscles lead to strong bones, and having strong bones minimises the risk of fractures due to osteoporosis. Weight training routines will often target the hips, spine, and wrists, which are the sites most likely to fracture as we get older.

3. Posture and sleep

Weight training comes with other bonuses, too, according to numerous scientific studies. Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania, found that people who participated in sports like aerobics, biking, and strength training were more likely to report “sufficient sleep” than those who got no physical activity. And as strength training helps to build muscle, you’re also helping to support sites like your lower back, which is great for improving posture.

Other weight training FAQs

• What size weights should I start with?

  Your dumbbell weight requirements will depend on why you’re strength training. Beginners looking to tone up can try lifting weights between 2kg and 8kg. We advise discussing your workout plan with a qualified professional if you are unsure.

• Can weights help you lose weight?

  Research suggests that lifting weights can help you to burn calories and lose weight, but it’s not just during the exercise that you’ll see the benefits. The after-burn effect means that you can burn calories for up to 72 hours after your session, as well as during it. This is in contrast to running, which burns many calories during the exercise, but stops after you finish.

• How can I follow a weight training program for free?

  If you’re weight training at home, particularly if you’re a beginner, make sure to take note of the correct form required for each move before you do it. This will help to prevent unnecessary injury. YouTube is a great tool that allows you to watch particular exercises or routines for free. Often, you can find sessions online from certified PT’s, including Joe Wicks… otherwise known as The Body Coach. If you’re still unsure, speak to a qualified professional before completing these exercises.

• Is weight training more effective than calisthenics?

  Both are forms of strength training, but calisthenics focuses on bodyweight exercises like lunges, push-ups and sit-ups, whereas weight lifting involves lifting barbells, kettlebells and dumbbells. The effectiveness of each type of training depends on the results you are seeking, but generally speaking, weight training is better for building muscle mass and functional strength and calisthenics is better for overall training flexibility and endurance.

• Is weight training suitable for beginners?

  Weight training is easy for anyone to start up. Get yourself some dumbbells at a lower weight and practise your form on specific moves before increasing the kgs. It’s always more important to follow the correct form and perform this at a higher number of reps, rather than lift heavier weights with bad form and lower reps.

• Can weight training at home be as effective as weight training in a gym?

  If you’re following a specific programme, there’s no reason that weight training at home can’t be as useful as taking a trip to the gym. However, this does depend on your overall fitness goals. Gyms will often have a range of weights available for those who wish to sculpt their bodies, like bodybuilders. But for the majority of us, working out with dumbbells from home can see us achieve great results, without forking out monthly for a gym membership!
