... I’ve mostly just done cardio for my workouts in the past - or workout DVD’s that involved light dumbbells. I’ve always been a little intimidated to venture over to the “dude” part of the gym... you know the area with all the grunting? 😂
I’ve decided to face those fears and start training with real weights. It will be a slow process because I want to spend tons of time on getting my form right - but I’m excited to get stronger and see my body change.
This photo was taken yesterday and even though I took it super easy the first day - you better believe I am sore as hell today! Bring on all the salt baths and stretching to rehab my muscles and get ready for my next lift session in a few days! 😅 #dohardthings
Yeahh Here is one of the sportive steemian woman. Congrats and Keep going on ....

Squats, deadlift and bench press. The only three lifts anyone should have to do! Throw in planks and some running, and you're good.
Don't go too heavy. It may feel easy at first but good form is waaaay more important!

Thanks holo! I’m definitely planning to take it super slow and work on form for a long time before layering on extra weight.
As for excercises - I’m planning to just cycle through 5 excercises - squats, bench press, barbell row, deadlift and overhead press. So far I’ve just done the squats and bench press and will spend the next month learning good form and adding in the others. 😃

It is so satisfying putting it all together in a clean and jerk when you graduate to that level of confidence and good form! :) Good luck with it, and stay injury free, unlike me!

As some wise philosopher once said: no pain no gain! 😅 Keep it up! I’m challenging myself on a bike the last weeks. In the beginning it was tough, but now I’m addicted... Hope you’ll have a similar experience!

That’s true... easier said than done though. 😬 I felt so uncomfortable for the first half hour - but once I broke through that it was so much easier! 😅
