ADVICE FOR BEGINNING TO LIFT 

  • Katie has just started to lift; what is a good way to start out?
  • The intimidation factor is real
  • Depends on what you want to achieve
  • For Katie it is being toned and fit
  • Leg extensions, etc
  • Heel raises
  • Bench press or pushups for secondary chest exercise as well as triceps
  • Don’t be intimidated! Especially women! Men are just surprised

WHAT IS GOOD SUPPLEMENTATION?

  • Don’t take “get bigger muscle” products
    • No real science behind it
    • Some of it is harmful
  • Whey protein is good
  • Eggs are also really good after a workout!
    • Lots of amino acids
  • Branch chain amino acids
