Strength Training Exercise Program

Start out with 2-3 sessions each week. Rest one day between sessions.
A typical training program is 3 sets of 8-12 repetitions of each exercise.
- A set is one group of repetitions
- A repetition is one completion of an exercise
- You will often see it written as “3 X 12”
Rest 1-2 minutes between each set.
Use a heavier weight with a squat then you would for an arm exercise.
Choose a dumbbell heavy enough so you can do 8-12 repetitions of the exercise before resting. The last repetition should feel somewhat difficult to complete but should not be exhausting.
- Don’t over stress the joints. For example: like the squat or lunges. This means using lighter weights and not extending the joint through its full range of motion.
Warmup 10 minutes before you start your strength training exercises.
Take care of yourself. Wear appropriate shoes for balance.
