If you\u2019re new to lifting, navigating the weight room can feel like a bigger challenge than the workout itself. But it\u2019s worth overcoming that initial intimidation; a regular strength training regimen can positively impact mental health<\/a>, improve longevity<\/a> and make it easier to accomplish daily tasks<\/a>. That\u2019s even more important as you age, when loss of muscle strength can put you at greater risk of falling<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

By focusing your workout on a combination of machines and free weights, you can create a simple and well-rounded program that can be easily progressed as your strength improves.<\/p>\n

A good rule of thumb for a comprehensive workout is to include one exercise that hits each of the fundamental movement patterns<\/a>. In other words: \u201cPush something, pull something, do something for your legs, do something for your core,\u201d said Kelvin Gary, a New York City-based personal trainer and gym owner.<\/p>\n

While it may be tempting to design your workouts around aesthetic goals like bigger biceps, Mr. Gary recommends focusing instead on movements that improve overall strength by incorporating multiple joints and muscle groups. \u201cTrain movements, not muscles,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
