We’ve got some cool news to share for today’s Wellness Wednesday!!
The American College of Sports Medicine () recently updated their resistance training guidelines for the first time in 17 years! The new guidelines are as follows:
1. Consistency beats perfection - Showing up regularly is better than a perfect day here and there.
2. Match your training to your goal - Adjust your workouts to cater to the results you want to see.
3. Make it personal - Pick a routine that works for YOU.
4. You don’t need a gym - Home-based training is just as effective as going to a gym.
5. Most “advanced” techniques are optional - You will still get results without going to extreme measures.
