Are You Using The Right Weight?

Choosing the right weights for your workouts is all about experimentation and learning! You probably won’t get it exactly right the first time so give yourself space to learn and try different things.

If you instantly lose form or cannot complete more than a few reps with proper form - your weights are too heavy 🥵 On the other hand, if you don’t feel any resistance or challenge and get to the end of a set feeling like you could bust out more reps - then your weights are probably too light. You’ll know you’ve selected the correct weights if you can complete all sets without losing proper form. The last 1-2 reps should really feel like a challenge but you should still feel in control.

When I’m trying out a new exercise, I like to do the first few reps with a lighter weight so that I can perfect my form. Once I’m confident with the movement, I’ll challenge myself with a heavier weight and if I start to lose form I’ll decrease the weight so that I can finish off the set. Play around, have fun and do what feels right for YOU! 👊🏼

I do love seeing Heather’s happy face. 😊 Gonna be doing HR HIIT in the morning. ❤from the UK.

With those guns, I bet you could have lifted the “too heavy” weight but we appreciate that you pretended not to so we could learn.

I switch between 10 and 15 lb. Weights and 20 and 25 lb. Kettlebells. I use 5 lb. Weights as infrequently as possible. I do Heather’s workouts on the day that there are no classes at the gym that I want to take. She is the best online instructor in my opinion.

[heatherh.]

Your so cute! I love her happy face too❤❤

[purpleducck]

I loved the part where you actually explained how to choose the right weights

[sarabennett]

I got myself some adjustable weights, so I can progressively overload without spending too much on multiple dumbell sets 😁

[chumsuedi]

Hey thanks, what is the size of the heavy and the right dumbells youve used??? Am trying to figure out which ones i should get

[НинаХасанзянова-лы]

How can i read the caption? Can't figure it out🙈

[geekchick]

I would probably have dropped one down to be able to complete 3 sets and have the last ones HARD.

[michelleperkey]

At some point, weights should be increased to stimulate muscle growth.

[stephanymendoza]

You're so beautiful dear heather.
