Guide to a Healthy & Effective Resistance Training Programme
Resistance training (or strength training) isn’t just about building up your muscles and strength, it can also improve the way your body functions and the fitness of your heart and lungs. There are several different factors we must consider when undertaking a structured resistance training programme:
• The number of sets • The number of repetitions (within the sets) • The type of exercise we are doing • The intensity of the workout (amount of weight used) • The frequency of the sessions • The rest periods between each set
With that said, we’re ready to fill out our Programme Card…
From the left side of the card, you can input:
• The adjustments (position of exercise i.e. inclie position) • The order of the exercises you will be partaking • The exercise name • The number of sets for this exercise • Targeted rep range for the exercise
