Isolated Muscular strength and endurance 

In this section we are working isolated muscle groups without aiming to challenge the cardiovascular system, To improve 

muscular endurance it is necessary to work at a comfortable and sub maximal level, and to repeat each set of exercises For 

example if the most you could do was 10-11 repetitions, a good level would be 7-8, this would be one set of 7-8 repetitions. 

Each set should be repeated 2-3 times, with a rest period in between. During this rest period you could work a different muscle 

group i.e., alternate upper and lower body. This enables the body to recover even though we are working all the time. 

For endurance work select a lighter resistance i.e., the black or yellow ropes. If you are aiming to improve muscular strength, 

select a stronger resistance-red-or connect 2or 3 together. You should be able to complete a maximum of 6 repetitions in one 

go i.e., one set of 6 repetitions. 

If you are a beginner to exercise, the adaptation option illustrates slightly easier versions of the same exercise. You should 

always work at a comfortable level. 

If you experience any pain or burning sensation you should rest.
