Strength

  • Do 6-10 exercises. 2-4 for the lower body and 4-6 for the upper body.
     
  • Select a weight that allows you to perform 8-12 repetitions. Once you can do 12
    repetitions, you can increase the weight by 5% for the next training session.
     
  • Train with high intensity, that is, try to reach the point of momentary muscular failure
    in each exercise.
     
  • Perform each repetition correctly and slowly. The positive phase (raising the weight)
    should last 2-4 seconds, and the negative phase (lowering the weight) should
    last 4-6 seconds.
     
  • Avoid fast and jerky movements, because they are dangerous and unproductive.
     
  • Isolate the muscle to be trained as much as possible, and avoid any help by swinging,
    twisting, or squirming movements.
     
  • Try to increase the number of repetitions and/or the weight. Make sure, however,
    that each repetition is always performed correctly and with full range of motion.
     
  • Train 1-3 times a week. Once you have doubled your inital strength or if you can’t make
    any progress, increase your resting period between workouts.
     
  • Rest at least 48 hours between workouts.
     
  • Pay attention to and keep track of your training results. Write down the date, number of
    repetitions, weight, and total workout time.
     
  • Change your workout porgram every 2-3 months. You may make an appointment with
    a fitness instructor at any time. We will gladly advise you.
