Is All Fitness Healthy?

Not without a program designed for your specific needs.  Developing and maintaining an adult fitness program that includes cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness will provide the balance necessary to reach goals.  An integral part of this program includes strength training of moderate intensity that helps get you closer to reaching your goals.  

What Do You Do?  

That is How I Can Help.

Understanding the How, When, and Why of weight-training will allow you to understand frequencies of exercise and what to do when you are on your own in the gym or at home.   
  

The American College of Sports Medicine Position Stand (1990) recommends you complete a minimum set of 8 to 12 repetitions of 8 to 10 exercises that condition the major muscle groups at least twice per week.  

Here are some examples for exercises in a basic strength training program: 

• Bench Press
• Lat Pulldown
• Overhead Press
• Bicep Curl
• Tricep Pulldown
• Squat
• Leg Extension
• Leg Curl
• Abdominal Crunch

Remember this is a minimum and basic recommendation.  As you get comfortable with your program, we will increase the intesity and variety of exercises.  Hiring a professional to guide you along, helping you understand the process, will make exercise fun and you will gain more confidence about performing it.  Don't forget, we will add in running, cycling, or swimming on other days.
