How to get started lifting weights

It’s never too late to start lifting weights. When you sit in a chair, you squat. If you pick up a heavy box, you deadlift. When you put something into a high cupboard, you're doing an overhead press.

Don’t let the idea that you have to lift really heavy weights intimidate you or stop you from starting.

Here are 5 things I love about lifting weights:

1. I can carry my daughters to bed

2. It gives me a much-needed energy boost

3. It strengthens my bones and joints

4. It makes me feel strong

5. It keeps me healthy and positive

I've got lots of strength training plans, either 1:1, online or in small groups (rope your mates in, go on).
