Start Your Weight Lifting WorkoutsIn your weight lifting workouts, you carry out each phase of the weight training plan. Test before and after each phase of training so you can adjust the next phase accordingly.In Step 3 of the 7 Training Steps, you carefully validated the design of your weight training program to make sure that it would target your goals and was practical. In Step 4, start training! Here are a few tips to help you through your workouts: *Your Goals. Keep both your long-term and short-term goals in focus as you travel down the road toward achieving them. See Setting Fitness Goals Fitness Training Goals *The Big Picture. Because weight training is part of your total fitness or sports training program, don't lose sight of its role and importance. *Technique and Posture. Focus on learning and performing exercises using correct lifting technique through the full range of motion. Always maintain good posture on every exercise. *Recovery. Be sure to take the proper rest time between lifts. Take a least one day between weight training workouts, particularly after high intensity sessions. See Principle of Recovery *Follow Your Program. Stick to your daily program as closely as possible. Minor adjustments are fine, but don't make major changes to the integrity of its framework. *Instinctive Training. There's nothing wrong with following your instincts. Listen to your heart and body. They tell you what you need to know to make the best decisions. 
*Record Your Workouts. Enter what you actually completed for each exercise (weight, sets, reps). The example above presents only one format. Make notes in your workout log about how you feel, too, and what conditions affected you in any way during this weight lifting phase. While your perceptions are subjective, they can provide insightful information for Step 6: Fitness Evaluation But you may not make it to the evaluation if you get off track. Be ready to deal with situational and personal factors that could stop you from sticking with your program. "Synthesize" (Step 5) whatever comes up and keep going. You may have detours and challenges. Expect the unexpect, roll with the punches, and adhere to your planned program!
