How to start, a weightlifting program for beginners - Minneapolis cardio fitness | Examiner.com: "The hardest thing to do when you start to workout is deciding what you need to do and how to set up your workout program? If you look at magazines and websites on the Internet, you see people that are huge and ripped telling you how they workout. You’re not going to look like that without many years of working out. It doesn’t make sense that you can start with the workout that these guys do, you must start out smaller and work toward those workouts."

Lose weight and build muscle
Lose weight and build muscle: "The first thing you need to do to lose weight and build muscle is to find out what your base metabolic rate is, your BMR. This will tell you how many calories you need to maintain your current weight, then you need to cut the calories you eat by 15% if you want to lose weight. Don't cut more than that or you won't build muscle while you lose weight."

Understanding Volume and Intensity in Weight Training
Understanding Volume and Intensity in Weight Training: "olume is how much work you do, and intensity is how hard you do it. That's a simple approach to it in any case. Let's explain. If we take Romanian deadlifts for example -- let's say you do 5 lifts (repetitions) with 100 pounds. If you increase this to 10 lifts you have increased the volume. If you keep the repetitions the same at 5 and increase the barbell weight to 150 pounds, you have increased the intensity of the exercise."
