Gym Cumberland Park Tip#2 – Stay tuned for more tips from your local gym Cumberland Park

2. “You can’t manage what you can’t measure.” -Peter Drucker

Training for strength provides a clear path for success. Generally your personal trainer will help you set training goals that are specific, measurable, and produce desired outcomes. A good personal trainer will help you design a plan towards these goals with checkpoints along the way. Your strength training program is a road map to success with clear directions. Sets, reps, and weights lifted safely through the full range of motion are the signals that you’re on track. Many people find that a more detailed plan helps them stay motivated as they experience progress.

The key is to have a way to measure each set, each workout and continue to replicate that every week. This will show a clear progress forward and you will be able to continue to stress your body to ensure you are adapting.

If you continue to lift the same weight each workout, then your body will look no different. This is a very important aspect of strength training to understand, your body will respond to the stimulus that you put on it. As such, if you dont increase the tension from one workout to the next, then your body will not change.

Our recommendation is to either use an app that allows for the tracking of workouts or at the very least write it down on a spreadsheet of training journal of some time. We prefer an app now for ease of use, but we used physical paper for years to ensure we continued to make gains for ourselves and our clients.

 

We would love to help you live a healthy strong life. Schedule a  Free Intro Session  at D8 Training in Clarence Gardens today.
