My name is Randy Lemieux and I'm an ISSA Certified Fitness Trainer.
I've completed courses in
Exercise Physiology, Exercise Nutrition,
Supplementation for Training or Performance
and Advanced Strength Training
through Human Kinetics
In this site, I've included the benefits of exercise, strength/bodybuilding training, cardiovascular training, sport/fitness nutrition, and samples of programs.
Muscular conditioning can improve strength and posture, reduce the risk of lower back injury, and is also an important component of a weight management program .
Aerobic exercise does good things for your cardiovascular system and is an important part of weight management. For a lean and chiseled physique, you need cardio work.
Mass can be achieved by going from a high intensity 3 Sets of 10-12 reps to a low intensity of 3 Sets of 4-8 reps. Keep your aerobic work to a minimum, once or twice a week for about 15-20 minutes.
Flexibility exercise is needed to maintain joint range of motion and reduce the risk of injury and muscle soreness.
How often should you exercise? Three to four days of aerobic activity is fine for general health
maintenance. If you're trying to lose weight, aim for four or more days a week, being sure you take off at least one day a week. Work up to 20 or more minutes per session for general health maintenance. For weight loss, gradually work up to 45 minutes or longer at low to moderate in a low- or no-impact activity.
Your best bets for low-impact exercise are treadmill, cycling, and using an elliptical machine
