Day 011 - Weight-lifting guidelines

R&R: Cross-train + weights        Training via ActiveMail

TODAY'S A DAY FOR SOME R&R: Cross-train for 30-45 minutes, then lift some weights. Include exercises for both the upper and lower body. Lift for strength, not endurance -- that is, do fewer repetitions (reps) of each exercise with more weight, not vice versa. Specifically, do 8-10 repetitions ("reps") of each exercise. The weight you use should be heavy enough that after 8-10 reps, you can no longer maintain correct form. Remember, if you're new to weight-lifting, work with a qualified personal trainer or your gym staff for your first few sessions to make sure your form and technique are correct.
