Weight Lifting Checklist for Safe, Effective Training
One of the best things about weight lifting compared with other training exercises is that you don't need much gear to get started. A set of dumbbells or a barbell can effectively help you work out all of your body's most-used muscles at a relatively low cost. Consider adding Oxygen Plus (O+) pure oxygen to your workout bag to help the body recover quickly after a hard-hitting regimen, and to help you get through those extra reps with ease. Got oxygen?
Pre-Workout Lifting Checklist
Breathe pure, recreational oxygen to give you the pick-me-up required to help boost your stamina and start your workout off strong
Enjoy a small meal before you work out - about 60 to 90 minutes before you hit the weights - especially something rich in carbohydrates and protein
Pack your gym bag with water, towels, weight lifting gloves and protein-rich snacks
Drink plenty of water
Find a lifting partner to help you stretch and spot you while you're pushing your weight
Post-Workout Lifting Checklist
Take a few deep breaths of pure oxygen post-workout to help muscles restore more quickly after vigorous exercise
Perform cool-down exercises and stretches to help your body get back to its normal state
Track your progress with your preferred weight lifting app or journal to ensure that you know just how much progress you've made
Eat a meal rich in carbs about an hour or two after you finish working out in order to give your body a restock on the glycogen levels it needs to thrive
Eat potassium- and magnesium-rich snacks to help your body deter cramps and soreness, particularly if you've just started training a specific muscle
