Resistance training

केदार

Resistance or strength training is an important way to maintain healthy muscles.

I follow the exercises below twice a week. For these exercises I use dumbbells, but you can also use different weights or resistance bands, according to your preferences.

These exercises are selected for training most of the major muscle groups. This exercise program consists of three supersets: in a superset, you perform two different exercises (marked here as A and B) in a row, only after the second exercise you take a short break. This saves time, while the trained muscles still get enough rest. In other words, first you perform the amount of repetitions of exercise A, then exercise B, followed by a break.

I repeat each superset three times, before I continue with the next superset. The program below takes about 30 minutes, depending on the number of repetitions and the rest time. The weight and number of repetitions needs to be determined based on your individual capabilities. Aim for a minimum of three to a maximum of twenty repetitions per set, adjust the weight accordingly to stay in this range.
