  • As a certified personal trainer with a specialization in orthopedic exercise and an avid weight lifter, barre enthusiast and runner, my favorite message to convey to clients and readers alike is that training with weights might seem daunting, but it'll assist with activities of daily living (ADL).

The article from CNN Underscored discusses the benefits of daily weight training and provides a comprehensive guide on how to incorporate it into your routine effectively. It highlights that weight training not only helps in building muscle but also improves bone density, metabolism, and overall physical health. The piece includes expert advice on structuring workouts to avoid overtraining, suggesting a mix of compound movements like squats and deadlifts with isolation exercises.

Additionally, the article offers sample workout plans for different fitness levels, from beginners to advanced, and touches on the significance of proper form, nutrition, and recovery techniques like stretching and foam rolling to enhance performance and prevent injuries.
