STRENGTH TRAINING

STRENGTH TRAINING

We begin the Strength Training contents by introducing important information that you should fully understand before proceeding. First we explain the many benefits of participating in a strength-training program and then provide you with invaluable information ranging from ‘must-know’ weightlifting terms to safety precautions that affect previous medical conditions, in order to avoid future injuries and/or physical complications. We will also discuss the mindset necessary for becoming successful, including ways of making time for your workout, of staying motivated, of understanding and accepting your body type, and the importance of concentration. In addition, we will discuss the best ways to measure your progress and what to expect if you discontinue weightlifting.We will cover the three factors affecting strength, the difference between types of strength-training equipment (machines, free weights, etc.), the truth about steroids, and information about the importance of incorporating cardiovascular exercise, stretching, and proper nutrition into your lifestyle.Perhaps most important of all, we will lay out the principles and guidelines of a successful strength training program.

This section will discuss exactly how to get the best results from the program you choose for your specific goals and interests. Just a few of the principles and guidelines you’ll learn include: how to select the exercise for each muscle group and how to calculate the number of sets and repetitions and the amount of weight you should use for use to reach your personal goals. You’ll learn the importance of proper lifting technique and how to achieve it. You’ll also learn the importance of blood supply to your muscles and common mistakes that hinder the process. We also devote a section to methods for overcoming plateaus. These ideas are extremely valuable but very rarely taught. It is more common for people to get in the habit of doing the same exercise the same way (sets, reps, weight, order, etc) over and over. This causes boredom and disinterest, and eventually improvement comes to a staggering halt.

Therefore, it is critical that you continually vary your strength training routine-no two workouts should be the same. The Women Fitness (WF) program presents many ways of adding variety to your routine so you never become bored and so you can continue to achieve results over the long run.The last part of our strength-training program discusses the many advanced strength-training techniques beneficial for those who have already experienced the beginning and intermediate stages of our program and who have also used the overcoming-plateaus suggestions.

These intense techniques give outstanding results when followed properly.Overall, this content will discuss exactly how to get the best results from the strength-training program you choose for your specific goals and interests.
