What weight should I start with for weight training?
Cassandra Goth asked:
I’m 14 and I can’t do any push-ups because my arms are too weak, so I’ve decided to start weight training with dumbbells. I have 7 pound ones and I bought a light resistance band. Should I get heavier weights or can I just use the ones I have?

If you can’t do any push ups, then that’s the exercise you NEED to do. That’s obviously the muscle group you don’t use regularly, and that’s why it’s your weak spot. Start with one push up (yes just one, do it on your knees if you have to), then the next day do two, the next day do three, etc..
Oh and if you’re too weak to do a push up, 7 lbs dumbbells are probably too heavy.
