Muscular Strength And Endurance

 Improving your muscular strength and endurance helps you maintain or increase bone mass, reduce body fat, reduce blood pressure, improve your lipid profile, and control your blood glucose. Pretty great benefits,for a little work, right? Muscular strength training consists of maximum muscle tension with minimal repetitions.

 

When lifting weights or using resistance exercise equipment, you should ensure that the contractions of your muscles are rhythmic. Use slow to moderate speed while moving through the joint's full range of motion. It's also important to breathe normally during these exercises. Remember to EXHALE on EXERTION!

 

 

Muscular endurance training involves lifting light weights with  repetitions, typically 8 to 12 per exercise. You will learn to do this form of muscle training at least two days a week, and you should do 8 to 10 exercises that work various muscle groups.

 

Training includes various types of resistance training such as:

  • Torso Resistance Exercises
  • Upper-Body Resistance Exercises
  • Lower-Body Resistance Exercises 
 
And no ladies, you WON'T look like a body builder!  (unless of course you really WANT to.)
