Teachers, save “Strength day 2-7 days a week” to assign it to your class.

Strength training should be done 2-7 days a week. To keep strength to all body parts, complete exercises in each category. A day of rest is important between workouts. For example, if you strength train chest on Monday, work the back on Tuesday. Then, come back to chest on Wednesday. Remember to breathe, and keep abs tight while moving. if you would like help with a movement, send me a video or note asking me how to complete an exercise ;). If using weights, complete 3 sets of15.
