Evidence Based National ACSM workout standards for EVERY person:

 “The scientific evidence we reviewed is indisputable,” said Carol Ewing Garber, Ph.D., FAHA, FACSM, chair of the writing committee.

 

Flexibility Exercise (aka stretching) 

• Adults should do flexibility exercises at least two or three days each week to improve range of motion.
• Each stretch should be held for 10-30 seconds to the point of tightness or slight discomfort.
• Repeat each stretch two to four times, accumulating 60 seconds per stretch.
• Static, dynamic, ballistic and PNF stretches are all effective.
• Flexibility exercise is most effective when the muscle is warm. Try light aerobic activity or a hot bath to warm the muscles before stretching.

 

Neuromotor Exercise (aka balance training) 

• Neuromotor exercise (sometimes called “functional fitness training”) is recommended for two or three days per week.
• Exercises should involve motor skills (balance, agility, coordination and gait), proprioceptive exercise training and multifaceted activities (tai ji and yoga) to improve physical function and prevent falls in older adults.
• 20-30 minutes per day is appropriate for neuromotor exercise. 

 

“It is no longer enough to consider whether an individual engages in adequate amounts of weekly exercise,” said Garber, who is an associate professor of movement sciences at the Teachers College of Columbia University. “We also need to determine how much time a person spends in sedentary pursuits, like watching television or working on a computer. Health-and-fitness professionals must be concerned with these activities as well.” *

My Beginner workout Suggestions:

Workout frequency suggestions are based on your CURRENT fitness level. Beginners should start with less resistance and less time in the gym. Experts should seek advanced workout routines, typically broken down by body parts on a daily basis.

Start slow, and gradually increase the number of workouts per week. Give your body time to adjust to new exercises, new movements, and results! When sore, always take an extra day of rest to avoid injury and allow for proper recovery!

 

Starter Strength Program “Calendar”:  

Week 1 –   1 strength, 1 cardio 

Strength Training Program “Frequency” per week suggestions:

Easy/Beginner  1 day a week: 1 or 2 sets per exercise

Medium/Novice  2 days a week:  2 or 3 sets per exercise

Difficult/Expert  3 days a week:  3 or 4 sets per exercise
