GENERAL STRENGTH TRAINING GUIDELINES
• It is recommended that you perform at least 5-10 minutes of cardiovascular exercise before beginning your strength routine in
order to warm the muscles, increase the heart rate, and prepare your body for strength training.
• Always raise and lower the weight in a smooth, slow, and controlled motion.
• Try not to hold your breath during strength training exercises. It is recommended that you exhale as you raise the weight and inhale
as you lower the weight.
• It is recommended that each muscle group be allowed to rest 48 hours between strength training.
• Complete each strength routine with a few simple stretches to maintain flexibility, and allow your body to cool-down after your session.
