Fitness And Strength Training

View:

First of all, I want to say that strength training for today's youth is something that everyone should consider as long as your kid meets certain standards. Now what do I mean by standards? It is fine for a child to participate in a youth strength training program provided that the kid is mature enough to focus and follow instructions.

I want to clarify that when I say strength training, I am talking about a well-structured and competent program that is supervised and meets the needs of the participant involved. This doesn't mean competitive weight-lifting. Also, when I say supervised I mean professionally supervised. Mom and Dad, unless you are a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist don't bother trying to be the expert. Set aside your pride and let the professionals take over if you want what is best for your kid. I have been training kids and youth athletes for a long time and have seen too many problems with kids getting injured, misinformed, or burned-out due to receiving incompetent instruction from an unqualified adult. Too many problems like childhood obesity and youth onset diabetes are piling up in this country. Not only are we the fattest nation in the world, but because of the many health problems I just mentioned the same diseases we face as adults are spilling over into our youth. Strength training for kids offers a tremendous solution to these raging health issues. It gets kids used to handling resistance and developing lean muscle tissue to promote a healthier foundation further on into their adulthood development.

Get your kids involved. Youth exercise should be a priority for your child. Be a proponent of fitness and use your own health as an example to get your child involved in a strength training program!

Fitness And Strength Training

For fitness strength training, there's a large variety of equipment you can use. Some of this equipment includes dumbbells, resistance bands, chin-up bars, full body weight systems (usually designed to target all muscle groups), and a weight bench.

Strength training is done when you add resistance to your workout in order to build muscle. In order to add resistance, you should start with no weight and then add five pounds of resistance at a time until you know how much weight you're able to lift. You want your body to be outside of its comfort zone, but not to the point where you pose injury to your muscles.

When it comes to working out, many are driven by results. With fitness strength training, since you're gradually increasing the weight as you workout, so know you're getting results. Your overall body image will also improve as you start to take shape, which can lead to higher self esteem.

When you start your workout, you'll want to do twelve sets of four for each target muscle group for thirty minutes three days out of the week. You do not want to work the same muscle two days in a row, so it's beneficial to break your workout into working specific areas on different days of the week. For instance, you could do upper body (arms, chest, back, and abs) on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and then do your lower body on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. This way you're giving your muscles time to repair and reducing the risk of injury.

You will eat high quality protein within a half hour after your workout because proteins increase the speed of which your muscles are able to recover. The sooner you're able to eat protein the better. A few high quality proteins are chicken breast, turkey breast, and egg whites.

As with any fitness routine, talk to a doctor before starting a fitness strength training program so you know what workouts are best for you.
