I had been showing her some basic excercises using soup cans like some shit in the cabin in Rocky IV. But we went to the gym together this morning and she used 5 lb dumbbells and I’m really proud she got started!

What we did together (I just used heavier dumbbells)

  1. Shoulder press
  2. Curls
  3. Skull crushers
  4. Bent row
  5. Squats
  6. Lat raises

    Love to see that positivity and not the patronizing attitude I’ve seen from some people about women starting out who can only lift “light” weights. Let’s encourage progress instead of perfection.
