A fitness expert gave advice on the correct use of weights during a workout
Fitness expert Holly Perkins talked about the correct use of weights during training. Her words are quoted by Shape magazine.
The specialist advised to use weights only when the exercise technique is fully mastered. Starting with 1.5 to 3 kg ankle weights, Perkins says, can change the way you walk, putting extra strain on your lower back and pelvis. “The ideal weight load for any exercise is one where the last two reps of each set are really hard to complete,” she explained.
In addition, Perkins recommended that you consult with your doctor before using weights to make sure that the extra load does not harm your joints. The expert noted that you can gradually increase the weight of the weighting agents.
Earlier, traumatologist-orthopedist Konstantin Sergeyev revealed the danger of working out one muscle group. “If you set the task to develop some specific muscle group, for example, only the buttocks or only the shoulder girdle, this will lead to an imbalance in the body and health problems,” the doctor said.
