Before: Set a Clear Intention

Using smaller weights allows for better control, reduces injury risk, and is great for toning, endurance training, and rehabilitation. To maximize results, focus on slow, controlled movements, increase repetitions (12–20 reps per set), and engage in progressive overload by gradually increasing resistance or intensity over time.

During: Use Your Breath as a Guide

Whether you’re using dumbbells, resistance bands, or even body weight, consistency and proper technique matter more than the weight itself. So, if heavy lifting isn’t for you, don’t worry—lighter weights can still help you build strength, improve muscle definition, and enhance overall fitness! 💪🔥

Consistency is more important than perfection. If you want to improve mental health, you don’t have to make drastic changes to your entire routine, just start incorporating mindfulness and breathwork into your existing routine. 

The smaller the change, the more sustainable it will be. Don’t tell yourself you will be mindful at every minute of your workout. You’re going to get distracted. Just keep coming back to your breath.
