Fitness Training Tips – How to organize your Strength Training for Best Results

This is one of our great fitness training tips!
Many of you are most likely doing some sort of strength workout at least twice a week.  Here’s a tip on how to organize your exercises to get the best results.
If you want to gain strength, endurance and tone up your body, 2 or three sets of the same exercise (or a small variable of the same exercise) will work well for you.  Be sure to choose a weight that you can do 12-15 repetitions.  This will also keep your heart rate up and burn lots of calories 🙂
One of those days can be a PUSH day.  PUSH exercises include bench press, incline press, decline press, military press, pushups, tricep extensions, bar or chair dips, etc … any exercise using your chest, triceps (back of your upper arm) or deltoids (shoulder muscles).
The other strength day can be a PULL day.  PULL exercises are curls, lat pulldowns, pullups, chinups, lawnmowers, back cable pulls, etc… any exercises using your lats (muscles down your sides under your armpit), biceps (front of upper arm) or back muscles.
If you want to do 3 strength days a week, the third one can be legs and core (your lower back and abdominal muscles).
The great thing about organizing your strength workouts this way is that you fatigue the same muscles with all the exercises and therefore get better results!
