If you have decided to start a weightlifting/toning program,here are a some important points to ponder:
-Always see your doctor before starting a dieting or conditioning program. 
-Seek the advice of a professional trainer for workout routines and proper form. 
-Are you going to join a gym or set up youre own home gym? 
-Dont forget to stretch before any physical activity. Stretching makes the muscles loose and pliable. 


Breathing 
It seems kind of silly for someone to remind you to breathe, but you would be surprised. 
People tend to forget this and when they exercise they take these tiny little breaths. 
Anyway the debate rages on but I have found that the larger volume of air I get in and out, the better. 
So I breathe in through the mouth out and out through the mouth. I'm not saying this is the correct 
way all I'm saying is that's what I found works for me. For weight training,when you are in the lifting 
phase of the exercise, breath in,you should exhale on the lowering part of the movement. Like I said 
before, this is what works for me. Others feel that you should just breathe naturally throughout 
the exercise.


Frequency of Workouts
For best results you will want to train with weights 2 - 3 times per week for about 30 - 45 minutes, 
working on 2 or 3 different muscle groups for each workout. Once you can lift the same number 
of reps with relative ease, adjust your weights accordingly. Maybe keep a journal monitoring 
weights and reps.


Rest and Recuperation
Just a suggestion but as far as rest goes, one day on, one day off. Then take the weekend off.
And if your too sore or tired, stay home and recuperate. Especially in the beginning.



Lift and lower your weights slowly. 
Don't use momentum to lift the weight. If you have to swing to get the weight up, 
your probably trying to lift too much weight.


Partner Up
Consider lifting with a friend. 
It helps keeping you motivated and eyerybody could use a spotter.


Basic Exercises 
-Bench Press (chest) 
-Chest Press (chest) 
-Sit Ups (stomach) 
-Shoulder Press (shoulder)
-Lat Pull downs (back) 
-Tricep Press (arms) 
-Bicep Curls (arms)
-Calf Raise (legs)
-Leg Curls (legs)
-Leg Extension (legs)
-Leg Press (legs)


Before starting your program, Seek the advice of a professional trainer for workout routines 
and proper form. This will lessen the chance of injury. 


Once again, please see your Physician before starting any exercise routine.
