BASICS OF EXERCISE: WEIGHT TRAINING
Weight training is the process of exercising with progressively heavier resistance to build, strengthen, or retain muscle. Unless you weight train on a regular basis, you will lose up to one-half pound of muscle every year of life after age 25. Muscle is a very active tissue with high-energy requirements, even when you are asleep; your muscles are responsible for over 25% of your calorie use. An increase in muscle tissue causes a corresponding increase in the number of calories your body will burn. In other words, you lose fat. Each workout session should incorporate 8-10 different exercises that involve the major muscle groups and last no longer than 45-60 minutes--max. Working out longer than 60 minutes will be counterproductive and eventually lead to burn out or injury. The purpose of “Workout 2001” is to develop and maintain a significant amount of muscle mass, endurance, strength, and flexibility to improve your level of physical conditioning. For the average trainee, training a specific body part once every 5 days should be ideal.
