Training Tips
Before you begin
You are strongly encouraged to consult with a physician
before starting any nutrition or exercise program.
To avoid injury during or after any physical activity,
always perform adequate warm-up and cool-down
stretches included in this guide. Each stretch should
be held for at least 60 seconds.
During the workout
Give yourself adequate rest periods between sets
and exercises. In many instances, this guide includes
recommended rest periods.
Concentrate on proper breathing throughout your
workout (deep breaths, in through nose and out
through mouth).
Maintain correct spine alignment to reduce risk of injury.
Concentrate on engaging your core muscles during the
entire exercise.
After the workout
Take one full day of rest after working a specific muscle
group to give it time to recover.
Proper cool down stretching is recommended.
Don't forget the cardio
Any functional strength training program should include
cardiovascular exercise, such as walking, running, or
bicycling, to help improve your metabolism and overall
health as you strengthen your heart and lungs.
