How do you know when it is time to increase the amount of weight you are using when you strength train?

Many people avoid trying to use more weight out of fear of injuring themselves, but there is a simple way to know when your body is ready without having to risk pushing yourself too far.

On this week's episode of the Exercise Is Health® podcast, we are laying out the exact steps we follow with ourselves and our clients to know when our bodies are ready to use more weight during our workouts.

If you have ever thought, "Should I be lifting heavier right now?" but weren't sure if doing so would put you at risk for injury, listen up!

What we share in this conversation will help you answer that question for yourself every single workout going forward.

Check out all the details in this week's episode!
