Strength Training

I specialize in strength training. My preferred training equipment are weights after a healthy cardio warm up. Strength Training is more beneficial than just adding muscle thru weight lifting. It is a healthy balanced muscle training to tone up and promote healthy muscle weightgain though proper balanced workout programs. Adding muscle helps rev up the metabolism and define the body.

Below is a two-day rotation program, which you can complete twice a week for broad upper-body and abdominal work. Set and rep schemes are given for both strength and muscle-building cycles. The only equipment required is a pull-up bar.

NOTE: Please talk to your doctor and consult with a certified personal trainer before starting any exercise program.
