If you are a beginner and are planning to do follow a weightlifting exercise routine, here are some dos and don'ts:

1. Always warm-up before you start a strength-training exercise. Warm up for at least 5 to 10 minutes either by doing brisk walking or any other aerobic activity.

2. Start with a weight you can lift comfortably 12 to 15 times and learn to do each exercise correctly.

3. Breathe out as you lift the weights and breathe in as you lower the weight.

4. Work all your major muscle like the hips, legs, abdomen, arms, shoulders, chest, and back.

5. Attempt weight training exercise at least two times a week.

6. If an exercise hurts, stop immediately and try it again after a few days or try with less weight.

7. Wear appropriate shoes to protect your feet from slipping or injuring your feet while you are lifting weights.

8. Don't exercise the same muscles two days in a row.

9. Don't overdo your weight-training exercise.

10. Don't rush and rest for about one minute between each exercise.
