Muscle strengthening 

WORKOUT OF THE WEEK:

Now that we have talked about the basics of strength training, let me walk you through a program that will allow you to apply the strength recommendations. 

Additional Resources for Strength Training

• Strength Sheet – Includes keys to success, workout plan, and illustrations of each strength exercise.

  • Alternative Exercises - Includes exercises that replace the exercises in the strength routine outlined 

• ACE Exercise Library – A list of exercise movements broken down by body part and experience. Try a few of these out and design your program to your own preference.

• ExRx Exercise Directory – Another list of exercise movements broken down by body part. Correct technique for each exercise is illustrated with a video.

• Resistance Bands - A link to purchase resistance bands. Resistance bands can offer a nice added resistance without the cost or inconvenience of a gym.
