Chronic Condition Management

How do I get started with strength training?
- Body weight – Try exercises without any weight or resistance, such as push ups, planks, squats, shoulder taps, or lateral lunges!
- Resistance tubing – To add a little resistance without using weights, try a resistance band!
- Free weights – Free weights such as dumbbells and kettlebells are great for those that can handle some weight before moving onto the weight machines.
- Weight machines – Since there are different kinds of weight machines, please look into how to properly perform exercises on the machine to prevent injury from happening. Be sure to always have someone spotting you while using weight machines.
