Who should start with Beginner Resistance Training?
The Beginner Level is the perfect place to start for someone who has never done resistance training before, someone who has only done resistance training on machines, or someone who has not worked out on a consistent basis for a long time.
Beginner Resistance Training Workout Description.
These workouts each use 8 exercises (total Body, chest, back, shoulders, biceps, triceps, Legs A, Legs B) to go through the whole body. The emphasis of these workouts is to build (or rebuild) strength and endurance, develop proper technique, and improve balance and stabilization. For workouts 1-7 do 2 sets of 20 repetitions, and for workouts 8-15 do 2 sets of 15 repetitions. Make sure you are using good technique, but be sure to challenge yourself on the weight. If after your set you feel like you could have done 2 or 3 more reps then you need to raise the weight!
How often should I do the Beginner Resistance Training Workouts?
The workouts in this level should be done 3 times per week. Try to put them in your schedule so that you have a day in between each workout. This is to ensure that your muscle will have enough recovery time. On your rest days you can still do core training and cardio training. Example: Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday…or… Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
How should I progress through these workouts?
You can progress through these workouts at your own pace. You can choose to do the same workout for all three workouts each week, do each workout twice before progressing , or progress to the next workout every time you work out. Everybody progresses at different speeds so you have to let your body tell you when you are ready to move on. When you first get started you may find that the second set is much harder than the first and you are not able to finish all of your reps on the second set. This doesn’t mean the weight is too heavy it means that your muscle are fatiguing on the second set and you need to stay consistent to build your endurance. Make sure you can get all of the reps on the second set before you progress to 15 reps.
