Where to Begin Weight Lifting?

You should begin your first workout with a warm-up consisting of 10 minutes of walking or jogging or other aerobic exercise. Loosen up with a few very light exercises first, then choose a weight that is heavier and that starts to feel somewhat heavier as your muscles tire.

Where do I start weight lifting?

You want to start with a weight that you can lift 10 to 15 times with proper form. Begin with 1 or 2 sets of 10 to 15 repetitions, and slowly progress to 3 sets or more. Gradually increase the weight. When you can easily do the recommended number of sets and reps, increase the weight by 5 to 10 percent.
