Strength Training BasicsRead this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Strength Training and other Exercise topics. Strength Training BasicsDoes the thought of incorporating strength training into your exercise routine intimidate you? Have no fear! All you really need to get started on a weight training program are some dumbbells and possibly some leg weights. Then, find at least one strength training exercise for each of the major muscle groups. These include the biceps, triceps, shoulders, chest, abdominalS, back (upper and lower), glutes (buttocks), hamstrings, quadriceps, calves, and shins. (Some exercises work more than one muscle group.) Remember, KISS: Keep it simple, silly. Keep the exercises basic and perform two to three sets of each strength training exercise two to three days per week. Beginners can benefit from only one set per exercise.

Typically, do it yourself info. often leaves out crucial fundamentals necessary for truly effective and safe strength development ie. individual assessment(current strength level, current health incl.any medical/structural limitations,scheduling to assure compliance etc.- yeah, most non supervised beginners drop out from various frustrations or minor injuries[the do-or die types]Unfortunately,as strength training is so much in vogue now with demand here very high, too much overly simplified,incomplete and downright "mickey mouse" info.,is commonplace. Common sense decrees that all beginners(even athletic types)get at least some formal small group or one-to-one guidance AND supervision from a strength training specialist[univ.,college or other top certification] yours truly, Robert Congrave 4/22/2009 3:32:19 PM Nicholas said: I FULLY agree. :) |
