I have two 20 pound weights. What do I use them for? And should I substitute sit-ups with planks? A friend told me planks are superior
The weights are a supplement to your regiment. Hold one to your chest on your final set of sit ups, hold them down at your side during you squats, etc.. 20s are perfect for someone trying to lose weight, do you have alot of existing muscle mass already?
also, standing free-weight shoulder presses are good for helping shape your upper body, and inclined/declined free weight bench presses.
I dont go to the gym or anything but ive been in shape my whole life, and also i have alot of friends who workout lol.
Ps: smaller, more frequent meals. If youre feeling up to it, repeat you routine twice or more a day. And walking, listen to music and go for a walk.
I forgot, planks are good, if theyre the supermans that im thinking of. But its more for your back, it is also pretty beneficial for your core strength.
