Strength Training with S2S Brown Clinic

by | Jan 13, 2011 | Equipment


You want to do strength exercises for all of your major muscle groups at least twice a week, but no more than 3 days a week. You want to allow adequate recovery time for your muscles. Don’t do strength exercises of the same muscle group on any 2 days in a row. Here I am doing a workout involving my legs. Remember, to start out SLOW! Don’t hold your breath or strain while lifting. Breathe out as you lift or push, and breathe in as you relax. A few more posts in regards to strength training, and then I will spend a little time talking about Diabetes and Pre-diabetes, as this was a question brought up by a patient. Stay tuned!

Strive 2 Survive Strength Training

by | Jan 11, 2011 | Exercise


The basic idea is you need to lift or push weights, or your own body weight, and then gradually increase the amount of the weight that you use. You can use special Strength Training equipment, go to a gym or fitness center, or purchase at a very reasonable price your own equipment for home. You want to make sure that you are using proper technique, not straining, or starting with too much weight too quick. More on this as the week goes.
