Inclusive Weight Lifting for Beginners

  • Root & Branch 1235 Southeast Grand Avenue Portland, OR, 97214 United States (map)

Resistance training has countless benefits for your body, health, and mind. However, there are also countless ways to lift weights. It can also be scary to be in a public space when you might not know where to begin. Or maybe you feel self conscious or have felt “othered” in public gym spaces.

Join me for this workshop and you’ll learn how to lift weights safely and start building confidence with your technique, body, and gain a starting point in your health and resistance training journey.

In this workshop, you’ll learn the basic movements of the body to train efficiently and keep things simple while working the entire body and major muscle groups. We’ll go over safe techniques, what weights to start at, how many sets and reps you’ll need for your goals, and different modifications. Plus, we’ll end with a great core workout and a relaxing stretch session.
