Strength training for beginners

Strength training involves exercising muscles to improve their ability to handle resistance, leading to increased muscle mass and strength. Beginners should start with basic exercises like bodyweight squats, push-ups, or light weights, focusing on proper form. Begin with 1-2 sets of 8-12 repetitions per exercise, allowing muscles to adapt. Gradually increase resistance or repetitions over time. Incorporate rest days to allow recovery and prevent injury. Proper technique, consistency, and listening to your body are key to safely building strength and avoiding setbacks.
