Most of my workouts are cardio based and im trying to incoporate more strength training into it but not really sure what to do or what equipments to use at the gym. Definitely want to improve upper body strength (i have none currently) Any tips? Thanks!

    I do bench press, over head press, bicep curls, and tricep extensions. Pullups are also good for the upper back and biceps. Just start with a light weight or dumbbells and slowly increase the weight over time. For pullups, see if you can find an assisted pull-up machine or bands to assist.

    Click on the pinned post and look for the posting called "Which lifting program.." Then choose any beginner's program there. It's best to follow a proven program, not someone's list of exercises. If questions come up, feel free to ask them here.
    By the way, if your upper body is weak, your lower body probably needs strengthening too. It's almost always best to do a full-body workout. :+1:
