body hydrated daily, Especially during exercise.

• Beginners using weights should train a minimum of 3 times a week with a day break
in-between. 12- 15 reps at least 2 sets on major muscle groups: Chest/ shoulders/ Bicep/
Triceps/ upper and lower back/ Stomach/ quadriceps/ calf's. This will improve muscle
stamina.

• When exercising on the abdominal muscles (stomach) breathe outwards when muscles
are tensed i.e. during a crunch. This will help towards getting flat abdominals.

chance of strains and improves your range of movement.
