Top Weightlifting Gear for Beginners: Getting Started in the New Year

Tips for Getting Started

Your New Year's resolutions don’t need to be scary. We tend to have idealistic ideas around new beginnings at this time of year, but the fact is, there’s never a bad time to start on the path to better health. Starting your weightlifting journey can feel monolithic, but like anything, breaking it down into manageable tasks makes the whole process much easier. Getting started means having the right gear! At Fitness Hero, we have everything you need to support your new healthy hobby!

If you look at the journey towards physical fitness as a whole, it can be quite an intimidating prospect. Many have the best intentions but can be overwhelmed quickly when you consider all of the things required to look and feel your best. With today’s modern lifestyle, it can be hard to find the time and the energy to properly balance our health.

But that’s where we come in. With our range of products designed to get you started, we can help you break down the monolith of healthy living into more manageable chunks. As the old saying goes, how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time! We want to help you succeed in your goals, as ultimately, your success is our success! 

We have everything you need to start this incredible journey. Our range of gym accessories, such as resistance bands and adjustable dumbbells, means no more excuses! They’re designed for people with not much space to work out in comfort. Resistance bands can be attached to walls or doors, and adjustable dumbbells can be handled in any room that’s big enough to swing a cat! 

In addition to our accessories, we also have things designed to protect you from injury. One of the big hurdles in this process is people getting a good start and then falling over due to injury. We want to help you stop this from happening by supporting your body. How do you achieve this? By using our gear.

For example, when you’re just starting with weightlifting, you’ll need all the support you can get. At Fitness Hero, we have the products to support you. Our lifting straps will help you to improve your grip endurance, meaning you can work out for longer with less strain on your wrists and hands. We also have weight-lifting belts to help support your core.

Lifting Straps: Secure Your Grip

A good aid for beginners, lifting straps can help increase your endurance by minimising the effects of grip fatigue on your hands and wrists. In turn, this means you can delay the point where your grip hits exhaustion, which means you can push yourself to get those last few reps and activate the target muscle with each set.

Weight Lifting Belt: Support Your Core

One of the things that can derail the most determined person from achieving their fitness goals is injury. It can deter you temporarily and in some cases, permanently. With all the information available, if you’re undertaking this journey, it’s your responsibility to make sure you have all the gear you need to prevent injury as much as you can. With that in mind, a weightlifting belt should be on the list of essentials! It’ll help support your core as you work out, which will help you to lift for longer with less risk of injury.

Weight Lifting Gloves: Protect Your Hands

Preventing the effects of weight lifting on your hands is a simple fix. If you’re lifting weights, then gripping the metal bars can, through fiction, cause your skin to rip and rebuild itself, which in turn will eventually form calluses. To circumvent this issue, weight-lifting gloves are a great piece of kit. They’ll protect your hands and make it easier to grip the weights.

Gym Equipment for a Home Setup: Make the Most of Your Space

Just because your internal space for a gym might be limited doesn’t mean you have to be limited in your workout! With Fitness Hero, there are plenty of gym accessories and equipment you can use in small spaces to help you achieve big results! With equipment like resistance bands that you can easily attach to your door handle and adjustable dumbbells you can make fit any space, we’ll have the gear for whatever space you’re working with.

Gym Supplements: Optimise Recovery

While getting fit has a lot to do with exercise, just as important is the nutrition side of things. In addition to a healthy diet, our range of protein and other supplements can help your body with recovery and set you on the right track for success! The right supplements, like protein powders and BCAAs, can enhance your muscle recovery and improve your overall performance, especially when you’re starting with your routine.
