EXERCISE GUIDELINES THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS • Muscle Building In order to increase the size and strength of your muscles, you must push your muscles to a high per- centage of their capacity. You must also progressively increase the intensity of your exercise so that your muscles will continually adapt and grow.
for 3 minutes after each set if you are doing a muscle building workout, 1 minute after each set if you are doing a toning workout, and 30 seconds after each set if you are doing a weight loss workout. Plan to spend the first couple of weeks familiarizing yourself with the equipment and learning the proper form for each exercise.
