Using
free weights is effective way of improving strength and fitness. Lifting
weights improves fitness while it burns calories, increase muscle size,
strength, power, and endurance, and increases bone density. It also
increases bone density and improves quality of life for many older adults.
Instruction is necessary if you have never used free weights before, or are
not that familiar with the use of free weights. Technique, and safety are
important considerations.
Unlike
weight machines, free weights don’t restrict movement. This is great for
building strength, but it also increases the risk of injury. Safety
precautions include having a good grip, maintain a stable position sitting
or standing, use good technique or form, and getting good instruction from
an exercise professional. Most accidents occur by falling weights that are
not secure or fall out of a person’s hand, so pay particular attention to
picking up and replacing free weights.
