PhyToga Personal Training with Christine
8 Episodes
Step up your workout routine to increase strength. The truth is, adding load is one of the most fundamental and simplest ways to increase strength. What does that mean?? Add weight!
You can add weight to almost any activity and it will help you improve your overall strength and quality of life. Weight training releases endorphins (happy hormones), increases muscle mass (critical post 50 when sarcopenia- muscle loss- increases), improves bone density and allows you to perform at a higher level in everything you do. Let's face it- the more options we have in life, the greater quality and JOY in life!
Equipment needed: weights in range of 5-25 lb, - kettle bells, dumbbells, laundry detergent, gallons of water- choose what is appropriately challenging
Difficulty: varies-you level the difficulty of this series by your choice in load.
Some episodes will focus on a body region, some will be total body. Are you ready?!
