Ever get lost in the gym? You know where the treadmills are and you have memorized the group fitness schedule. What do people do in the weight room? It can be intimidating, but you always hear how great lifting weights can be. HELP!
My sculpt class worked so hard today so I thought I would share our workout with you. Many of these moves were inspired or taken from Body Building and Fitness Magazine. Check out my Pinterest fitness board more inspiring workouts and ideas.

In the first set, make sure to start with a heavier weight. Often times, we settle for our comfort zone and don’t realize how strong we really are. By the third set, you should find it challenging to complete the reps. Your option is to lower your weight or to push through..you CAN do it! Remember that lifting weights will cause your metabolism to burn for up to two hours after your workout is complete. To find out about other benefits of lifting weights, read this article.
