Many people all over London and the world have used weight training as a type of exercise, and although it does get the heart pumping it not something that is usually used to help people obtain a higher fitness level, instead it is more often a way for people to build their muscles. Most often it is men who do these exercises but women more and more are adopting this method of working out. Not only can it make muscles bigger, but it can make them toned as well or instead. In general women are more interested in toning up their muscles and men are interested in building them, this is the way our culture has evolved. Weight training can help you if leaflet distribution is your profession, and is generally broken down into exercises, sets, and reps. The exercise can be anything from leg presses to bicep curls, tricep dips, lateral rows to stomach crunches. Each exercise will be dived into a number of sets, and each set into a number of ‘reps’ or repetitions. People who wish to tone their muscles will do a lower weight with more sets of a greater number of reps, and people who wish to build muscle size will usually do fewer sets of fewer reps of a much heavier weight. In every instance each set should finish once the person working out can no longer lift the weight. Often people will work out with a partner who can ‘spot’ them with the weights helping them to lift the weights even after they can no long do it on their own. This really helps to get great results.
