I have just started my weight training programme and I am already having problem. I am right handed and therefore I am stronger in that hand. Now when I lift weights ( For example a Dumble curl) I can do more reps/weight on my right hand and my left hand cant keep up. there is an imbalance. Do I first work out only on left hand and after a while do both or what..... How do I achieve the balance. Please advise.....

This is not an "imbalance". All of us are stronger on one side than the other. I work out with a personal trainer and we always do the same number of reps on each side. I have noticed a major improvement in my left side over the months but it is still slightly less strong than my (dominant) right side. Do not do more on your stronger side! Whatever you do with your left, you do with your right. Your left side, while it will never be quite as strong, will still get stronger and you will be able to do the same reps on each side. It will take time...you just started! The balance (or near balance) will come in time!
