EXERCISE INSTRUCTION

  • Warm up before each session.

  • Complete 1–3 sets of 8–12 repetitions of each exercise selected.

  • Rest approximately 30–60 seconds between each exercise set.

  • Perform every exercise through a full range of motion.

  • When applicable, perform an equal number of exercise repetitions with each arm/leg to avoid the development of muscle imbalances.

  • If unable to complete 8 exercise repetitions through a full range of motion, increase rest time between exercise sets or select an anchor position that provides a lesser amount of resistance. Or if unable
    to achieve moderate to maximal muscular fatigue following the completion of 12 exercise repetitions through a full range of motion, decrease rest time between exercise sets or select an anchor position that provides a greater amount of resistance.
    Perform each exercise a minimum of 3 times per week for maximum results.

  • Allow 24–48 hours of complete rest between each exercise session.
