Fitocrat Kellie Davis shares why and how she made the shift from cardio to the weight room.
Kellie Davis, a writer and fitness coach, shares her story about beginning weight-lifting and gives some wonderful information, including workouts for weight-lifting beginners!
With some exercises, yes. For others, no. If there’s an option of Advanced Workout Options, check to see if you can add weights there, or see if there’s a “Weighted [exercise name]” option in the library.
But with a lot of things, you can’t add weights to it and should just note the weights in the Notes section.

I was about to write out a guide to it, but then I found this Tumblr, which does it much better than I ever could.

Once the challenge ends on July 1st, prizes will be awarded as follows:
