Introduction
▪ Strength Training a type of exercise that improves muscular fitness

through the use of resistance to the muscle. It involves activities that
make your muscles do more work than they usually do. In other
words, they are activities that overload the muscles. An exercise
counts as strength training if it involves a medium- to high-level
effort and if it works major muscle groups of the body.
▪ Muscular Endurance is the ability of a muscle or muscles to repeat a
movement many times or hold a position without stopping to rest.
Benefits from Strength Training &
endurance
▪ Muscle mass. As we age, we lose muscle mass. Strength training can help you
maintain and fight against the loss of muscle mass.
▪ Osteoporosis. Strength training can help prevent osteoporosis by increasing bone
mass and bone strength.
▪ Arthritis. Strength training can reduce pain and disability associated with arthritis
and slow or reverse bone mass loss in arthritis.
▪ Heart disease. Strength training can decrease the risk of heart disease by
improving cholesterol and lowering blood pressure. It also decreases the stress
placed on the heart when lifting or moving objects.
▪ Overweight/obesity. Strength training can help to lower body fat levels or improve
body composition. It can also help us maintain muscle mass during weight-loss
efforts.
Benefits from Strength Training &
Endurance
▪ Daily activities. Regular strength training lowers the risk of having

limitations in daily activities due to a lack of muscular fitness. These
daily activities might include carrying children or groceries, climbing up
and down stairs, moving furniture or heavy boxes, engaging in sporting
activities or hiking, and even standing for long periods of time.
▪ Blood sugar. Strength training can improve blood sugar levels and
improve the use of insulin in the body.
▪ Psychological stress. Strength training on a regular basis may reduce the
symptoms associated with depression and anxiety and may also help
reduce fatigue. It can also contribute to improved self-esteem.
▪ Brain. Strength training can improve memory and thinking skills.
Principles of Training
1. Principle of Individuality – everyone has a unique response to everything and it is

influenced by people and things that surrounds an individual
2. Principle of Specificity – specifying which training an individual should do to achieve
one’s goal of training
3. Principle of Overload – Stressing oneself to train to achieve certain goal of training.
It can also be a way of improving one’s routine
4. Principle of Progression – the training stimulus of oneself is gradually and
constantly increasing to oversee the training progress
5. Principle of Diminishing Returns – to be wary of the weakness in training that you
should also focus in to
6. Principle of Reversibility – having gap between trainings takes the gains that were
achieved before to the original level

Meal Plan

meal plan along with your training will be a great balance; being fit
with the calories that your body needs and being healthy with the
nutritional value that you feed to your body
