Weightlifting or lifting weights is a sport that consists of lifting the maximum weight possible in a bar whose ends are fixed several discs, which are what determine the final weight that rises. That set is denominated haltera.
Weight exercises are useful to gain muscle mass, strengthen and tone muscles throughout the body. However, the use of dumbbells requires an adequate technique to avoid injuries due to muscle overload.
Unlike exercises without weights, they use body weight plus the weight added by dumbbells, so it is advisable to carry them out once you have an adequate base of muscular resistance.
Although it is better known as a sport, we can also integrate it into our exercise routine.
Lifting weights should be practiced moderately and gradually. It is a way to keep our muscles toned when we have had a sedentary life and it is easier to burn calories, it can also help to keep memory active.
Start with light weights in short series and increase as the body adapts.
Check with your doctor before performing any exercise.
