"How much weight should I lift when I strength train?"

This is a common question I get as a fitness coach.

The short answer: it depends on your goals.

Someone who wants to build muscle is going to grab different weights than someone who wants to build strength. And, if you’re a beginner, you might have an entirely different approach.

I had a chance to sit down with Olivia L. on the Women's Health Magazine team to drop some strength training gems that'll help you:

  • If you're a beginner
  • If you're looking to build muscle
  • If you're looking to build strength
  • If you're at a group fitness class

...and much more.

P.S. To my ladies over 30 - I strongly encourage you to add weights to your fitness routine. As we age, our hormones and muscle mass decline. To counter this, we need to focus on building strong, resilient muscles, and we do this by lifting heavy weights :)

Yours in wellness,

  • Ari 💪🏽
