Exercise for weight loss

  • trategy No. 1 — Set yourself up for success. Typically, when performing general muscular strength training, we program for one-three sets of 8-12 repetitions depending upon the load that is being lifted. For example, if you are lifting very heavy, you may perform five sets of 3-5 repetitions and require longer recovery intervals due to the level of exertion. Choose a load you are safely capable of lifting, know what the purpose of your lifting is (i.e., moderate to heavy or very heavy), and then stick with the plan.

    While every day and every workout is different depending upon the body you have that day, train with meticulous form/technique, to a point of momentary muscle failure. When it becomes hard (and it should during the set), complete your designated number of repetitions. If you feel it is necessary to drop a repetition, then perhaps your program is too ambitious. Rethink it and then perform every repetition during every set of every exercise!
