You may be aware that strength training helps prevent and reverse insulin resistance. You may also know that it helps you maintain your muscle mass when losing weight, and maintain your weight loss.

That’s what this series is designed to help you do. In this introductory video, you’ll learn about how to determine the optimal amount of weight for you to lift for each exercise, and how to progress the amount of weight you’re lifting safely.
