Beginners are recommended to begin with bodyweight training when they first begin strength training. Beginning with weights, even light weights, can lead to injury or fatigue if your body is not used to working out or doing resistance training.
Strength training may feel difficult or frustrating when you first begin, but the challenge is part of the journey. Don’t let yourself get discouraged or lose motivation. In the beginning, gains will come rapidly with the proper time and application, so be patient, push through, and you’ll see remarkable results.
