Strength Training Guidelines (ACSM)

At Team Fitness Guru, our workouts that we prescribe to our clients are based on research based guidelines for a safe, effeective and efficient strength training protocol, which are provided by the fitness authority – the American College of Sports Medicine.

Here’s some strength training recommendations that they made,

1. 8 to 10 exercises for major muscles
2. 1 set of each exercise
3. 8 to 12 repetitions per set of exercises
4. 2 or 3 nonconsecutive training days per week
5. Full range of movements (pain free)
6. Moderate speed movements (about 6 seconds per repetition)

Enjoy your workout!
