CROSS-TRAIN FOR 30-40 MINUTES, THEN LIFT WEIGHTS: Your weight-lifting routine should include exercises for both the upper and lower body. Lift for strength, not endurance -- that is, do fewer repetitions (reps) of each exercise with more weight, rather than more reps with lighter weight. Specifically, do 8-12 repetitions ("reps") of each exercise. The weight you use should be heavy enough to cause "failure" after 8-12 reps. "Failure" means you either can't maintain correct form, or you can't repeat the movement at all. Remember, if you're new to weight-lifting, work with a qualified personal trainer or your gym staff for your first few sessions to make sure your form and technique are correct.
