As you continue to work on strength training exercises, you will find as time goes on, that the exercises will become easier. This is time to start increasing your efforts/weights to continue gaining strength. When starting, you want to be able to complete 2 sets of 8 repetitions in good form. Keep using that weight or resistance until you become strong enough to perform 12 to 15 repetitions. Overall, proper form is more important than quantity or speed. Stay tuned as the next post I will discuss diabetes/pre-diabetes.
