When starting a strength training program to improve bone density and build lean muscle you must be ready to dedicate 3 to 4 days a week exercising. From personal experience when you enter the body building area of th gym it’s all too intimidating at first. What weights should I lift? What if the weights I’m lifting are too much or too little? and most importantly am I going to break something!

Many people will have made a gym friend or brought along an old friend to help ‘spot’ them whilst lifting weights, not only are they there to save your life if you can’t handle the pressure but will quickly notice if you’re doing something wrong and correct you.
