How to choose the right weight weights for a girl
In order for the training to be not only effective, but also safe, it is important to choose the right weight. How to choose the weight of dumbbells and other equipment for girls at the beginning of training, read below.
And on this site, and on others, in the description of the exercises, you probably read something like this: “take dumbbells of the required weight” or “set the necessary resistance in the simulator” and many similar formulations.

Clarity of consciousness: freedom from discontent
Have you ever been unhappy? 😉 Something is contrary to your desires and ideas, and you fall into a certain state in which you experience your disagreement with what is happening in the range from “It’s kind of sad today” to “I’ll tear everyone up, you bastards!”. Perhaps, dissatisfaction with some people seems like a completely normal way of responding to some life troubles – but let us first see: what is really behind this “norm of discontent”. At the root of the word “discontent” is the word “will.” Moreover, in the Russian language the word “will” has two meanings: will as freedom – and will as a power component of a person, as his ability to control himself. Oddly enough, in the concept of “dissatisfaction” both meanings take place and lead, in fact, to a single result. The term “Discontent” means the state of a person who has not reached the basic state of a developed and intelligent being, filled with vital force – to a state of will: he is not-up-free.

Posture as the foundation
We often hear this word, but what does it mean? Straight back? Lack of scoliosis? In this article, we will consider what components make up posture, how its formation occurs, and, of course, what affects its change.
Posture is a habitual laid-back position of a person’s body, which remains at rest and in motion. This is the definition that we will find in almost every exercise therapy book. But what or who defines this “laid-back position”, and why did it become “familiar”? This is where we should talk about the components that form the posture.
The human body has a rigid frame – the skeleton. The skeleton is both a support for muscles and ligaments, and a protector of vital organs and structures. A building called a “skeleton” is built according to certain laws, according to “floors” -segments, the correct location of which is designed to provide a minimum load on the muscles and ligaments in an upright position. Feet, lower limbs, pelvis, chest, neck and head – these are the very “floors”. If the “floors” are located correctly, one above the other, the body is able to perform movements in the joints with maximum amplitude, rationally and ergonomically move and maintain stability. This alignment is called “skeletal balance.” Continue reading
