One set...Too easy!


During Tuesday’s resistance training you have been improving your muscle strength with flat bands.  The American College of Sports Medicine has made the following recommendation for adults relating to the amount of sets and repetitions for an exercise:

“For adults generally, ACSM recommends resistance training of moderate intensity. Vigorous intensity training is an option for older adults, preferably in supervised settings or in adults with sufficient fitness, experience, and knowledge of resistance exercise. For resistance exercise, ACSM recommends performing at least one set of repetitions for 8-10 exercises that train the major muscle groups, and recommends exercise for each muscle group occur on two or three non-consecutive days each week. Experts recommend 10 to 15 (as opposed to 8-12) repetitions per set for older adults.”  -ACSM

I applaud you all because you all do more than what ACSM recommends. You make me proud. You are truly taking control of your health and age.  Keep it up!
