Today's Fitness/Health Tip: STRENGTH TRAINING

By Shady Barsoum

There has been debate about whether multiple sets (2-4) of a strength-training exercise produce more strength gains than doing only one set. According to the American College of Sports Medicine, more sets are better. However, if time tends to be an issue, completing even one set can be beneficial, especially if you choose a weight that causes you to reach muscular failure—the point at which you cannot perform any additional repetitions with proper form. So, the bottom line is that both quantity and quality will produce the best results from your strength training.

Hello!! Thank you for taking the time to visit my site. Here is a little about me: I am 37 years old. I currently live in Ocean Township, NJ. I grew up in Jersey City, NJ, where at a young age I learned to run and run fast! As long as I can remember I have always loved working out and staying fit. There is nothing like the feeling you get after a nice hard workout. That sense of completion, determination, and will power you receive from a hard earned workout stays with you throughout the day and revitalizes other aspects of your everyday life. You not only physically feel great, but mentally you are sharp, clear headed, and ready to tackle whatever life has planned for you that day. What a natural rush! I realize not everybody feels this way when it comes to working out and fitness in general. And that's where I come in. I will be your motivation - at least in the beginning. But ultimately I want that motivation to come from inside you. That self motivation will grow as you progress in your training, begin to transform yourself, and see results. And to help you along the way I will employ different techniques to make workouts fun, challenging, and a bit different each time. I hold a bachelor's degree in Biology from Rutgers University. And graduated at the top of my class at the National Personal Training Institute (NPTI).
