After listening to all my episodes touting the benefits of strength training, you’ve added weights to your exercise routine. Maybe you’ve been lifting the same weights for weeks now, and are starting to realize that those lunges and chest presses don’t feel quite as challenging as they did when you started. But how do you really know when to grab some heavier weights?

Listener Kristi had this very question: “Hi Megan, I've been working out for a little while now using weights and I'm wondering how to know when it's time to increase the weight - and how much I should increase the weight by when I do move up? Also, do you have any recommendations for the best kind of weights to buy if I'm planning to do this long term?”

In this shortie episode, I break down the best way to know both WHEN and HOW to level up your weights. And I’ve got some recommendations for the best weights to look for and which ones to avoid.
