Answer 2

Go slow, build a strong foundation. No yanking, no jerking, no bouncing, no momentum, just clean smooth moves. Do a half weight warm up set to warm up the exact muscles you will be using. Don't overtrain. Listen to your body. If it hurts, stop! Work your entire body, not just your biceps.

Answer 3

1. During each workout session, several different muscle groups should be worked

2. Increase the weight only when you are able to complete three sets of 10 repetitions with ease.

----Regular participation in aerobic activity three to four times a week for 20-30 minutes will improve overall muscular endurance.

-----The most effective means of improving muscular strength is to work out with weights. However, weight-lifting can be harmful to growing bones and joints. To improve safely, limit workout sessions to only two times per week for 15-30 minutes. During each session, work several different muscle groups.

*Flexibility. To improve flexibility, perform stretching exercises before and after each workout session for at least 10 minutes. Stretch each muscle group slowly and methodically until a feeling of slight discomfort is felt. Hold the position for 20 seconds without bouncing. Repeat at least three times. Stretching exercises can also be performed aside from other exercises.

Warm-up. Each workout should be preceded by at least 10-15 minutes of easy movements that slowly increase the circulation. Walking and stretching are good warm-up exercises. Warm-up exercises help to prevent injury to muscles and joints.

Cool-down. Each workout should also be followed by at least 10-15 minutes of easy movements that gradually return the heart rate to normal and prevent cramping. Walking and stretching are good cool-down exercises.
