Exercise

No one starts building a house without a solid set of plans. Similarly when we approach building our body, it is important that we take a systematic approach. Exercising just to make you tired (fatigued) won't create the desired adapations that you've been seeking. I'd like to share some exercises and tips that might help you!

 

Load:                 The amount of weight assigned to an exercise set 


Repetition:       An exercise repeated a specified number of times

Set:                     A group of repetitions sequentially performed (NSCA)

 

Superset:           Sequentially performing two exercises that stress two opposing
                            muscle groups

 

Compound set: Sequentially performing two different exercises for the 

                            same muscle group 
 

CDC Physical Activity Guidelines for adults (last updated in 2008)

At minimum: 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week, with muscle strengthening exercise targeting every major muscle group 2 times per week.
