Before you workout Prior to starting a training program, get a complete physical exam to make sure your physician agrees that you are ready. Always warm-up your muscles before a workout. A 5 - 10 minute cardio warm-up followed by slow stretching (no bouncing) is recommended. Continue with a lighter set (50% of normal) of intended exercises. Choose weights you can easily lift in the first weeks. Always perform the full range of motion unless you have an injury, then consult a professional trainer. Know the terms A "repetition" (rep) is defined as one complete movement through an exercise, returning to the start position. A "set" is a continuous series of reps usually between 6-15. During your workout The number of reps you perform in a set depends on your goal. To build muscle and strength, do fewer reps (6 - 8) with heavier weight. To build endurance, do more reps (12-15) with lighter weight. Never "cheat" by shortening the range of motion, bouncing the weight, or shifting your posture. This may allow you to lift more weight, but it is dangerous and less effective. Catch your breath between sets, then continue. When "circuit training" move briskly to the next exercise; when doing multiple sets on one exercise, rest 45 - 90 seconds before the next set. When you can perform the desired reps and sets for any exercise, increase the weight by a half or full plate. Designing your workout Circuit training is a good way to start. This involves doing one set per exercise, then moving to the next exercise, pausing only briefly between them (to keep your heart and breath rate up) until completing a balanced "circuit" of 8 10 exercises for your entire body. After several weeks, you can move into multiple sets (3 in a row) per exercise if you choose. [. . . ] Cybex phone representatives are available to answer any questions or concerns that you may have.
