EXECISE GUIDELINES

Building Muscleand Gaining Weight
Unlikeaerobic exercise,which emphasizes endurancetraining,anaerobic exercise focuseson
strength training. Agradualweightgaincanoccur whilebuilding the sizeandstrength of muscles.
While developing muscle mass,yourbodyadaptsto thestress placed upon it.You can modifyyour
diettoincludefoods suchasmeat,fishandvegetables. Thesefoods helpmusclesrecoverand
replenish importantnutrientsafter astrenuousworkout.
MuscleStrength andEndurance
To achievethegreatest benefit fromexercise,itis important to developan exerciseprogramthat
allows youtoworkall of themajor musclegroups equally.
To increase musclesstrength; followthis principle:
Increasing resistanceandmaintainingthenumber of repetitions ofanexercise results inincreased
musclestrength.
To toneyour body,followtheprinciple: Decreasing resistance plusincreasingthenumber of
repetitions ofanexercise results inincreasedbodytone.
Onceyoufeelcomfortablewithanexercise, you canchange theresistance, thenumber of
repetitions, or thespeedat whichyoudotheexercise. It isnotnecessarytochange all three
variables.For example, let’s saythatyouare training at50lbs andperforming theexercise10times
in3minutes. Whenthis becomestooeasy, youmaydecideto move uplifting60lbsforthe same
number of repetitions inthesame amountoftime. Liftingmore weightsfewer times mostoften
developsmuscle strength. To gain both muscle strengthandendurance, it is recommendedthat you
performeach exercise15to20 reps perset.
Training Intensity
Howhardyoubegin to train dependsonyour overalllevel of fitness.The soreness youexperienced
canbelessened bydecreasingtheloadyouplaceonyour musclesand byperformingfewer sets.To
avoidinjury, youshould graduallyworkinto anexerciseprogramandsetthe load to your individual
fitnesslevel.Theload shouldincreaseas your fitness levelincreases.
Musclesoreness iscommon,especially whenyoufirst start exercising.Ifyou arepainfully sorefor a
long time, itmaybetime to changeyourprogram. Eventually,your muscle systemwill become
accustomedtothe stressand strainplaced onit.
Beginning a Strength Building Program

4
WarmingUp
To beginstrength training, it isimportant to stretchandperformlightexercise for 5to10 minutes.
This helps preparethebodyfor more strenuous exercisebyincreasingcirculation, raisingyour body
temperatureanddeveloping moreoxygentoyour muscles.
Workout
Eachworkout tokeepinmindthatmusclesoreness thatlastsfor alongperiodinnot desirable and
maymeanthat injuryhas occurred.
Cool Down
At the endof each workout, perform slowstretching exercises for 5to10 minutes. Ease into each
stretchonlygoingas far as you can. Thisstage allows your muscles winddown after training.
To providea totalworkoutprogram itis also recommendedthat 2to3days of aerobic exerciseis
performedinadditiontothestrengthtraining.
Drinking Water
For thebodyto functionproperly,itmust beproperly hydrated. If youare exercising,youshould
increaseyour fluid intake.Thereasonfor this is thatthe water youtake in will leaveyour system
throughthesweatingmechanismthatcools your bodyduring exercise.The water youlose through
exercise mustbereplacedso that themuscles canrecover properly.
Rest Day
Although youmaynot feellike doingit, takinga rest dayat leastonceaweek is important because it
gives youbodya chancetoheal it self. Continuously working your musclewill result in over training
which will not benefitinthe longrun.
