hi i'm kay and in this video i'm going
0:02
to talk to you about strength training
0:09
so when i started strength training i
0:11
was always scared of the weight section
0:13
as i thought it was for men and i always
0:15
thought i would get a little bit bulky
0:17
but i was so wrong girls always think
0:19
that they need to run on treadmills for
0:20
hours and hours and yes cardiovascular
0:22
training is great for our health but
0:24
strength training is so much better the
0:26
benefits of strength training is that we
0:28
build muscle and when we build muscle we
0:30
also burn calories another benefit is
0:32
that it reduces the risk of injury it
0:34
increases our strength of muscles
0:36
another benefit is increasing our energy
0:38
it helps lift our mood and it also
0:40
increases our sleep it releases a
0:43
hormone called endorphins which is our
0:48
so how do you begin your strength
0:50
training firstly decide how much time
0:52
you have and how many days a week you
0:53
want to train depending on your
0:55
lifestyle and your goals firstly i would
0:57
decide to split your body into two the
0:59
upper half and the lower half and then
1:01
alternate them days for example if you
1:03
were training four times a week i would
1:05
go two upper and two lower days so the
1:07
upper is all above your waist and
1:10
anything lower is below your waist so
1:12
firstly i would start with machine
1:13
exercises such as a lat pull down or a
1:16
seated shoulder press as you get more
1:17
comfortable with the equipment i would
1:19
go into something more free weight like
1:21
a standard shoulder press with a barbell
1:23
or even a single arm row on a bench take
1:26
your time to get comfortable with the
1:27
weights the gym should have a pt or
1:29
someone that can help you around or even
1:31
ask another female in the gym that is
1:33
training around you and they can always
1:35
help it's time to start lifting no
1:36
matter your goals it will help you feel
1:38
stronger and help you feel more
1:40
confident inside and out so i hope you
