GUIDE: How to organize your own strength training program

In recent years, training has become part of unimagined citizen's life, and one can hardly avoid encountering workouts like. "30 Day Squat Challenge" or "Intense Ab Workout Challenge" when you log on to social media like Instagram and Pinterest. But the fact is that it is almost impossible to get the best results with this type of training - either they focused on very few muscle groups, or they jump dramatically in intensity. The most optimal for you who would like to start with that strength train is undoubtedly designing your own strength training program! Below we have listed 6 questions you should ask yourself when you need to organize your first personal training program - and we have helped you along the way with the answers too.

1. How are you today? It is important for your motivation, your training will not be a pacifier duty for you, or stress your day. Find out how much time you have to train for and how often you can get away. Short but regular sessions are far healthier than long sessions with long time between.
2. What strength training exercises should I choose? Maybe you have a "problem area" you want to work extra on - and there is certainly nothing in the way of you do! But it is important that you train the whole body, not just a single muscle group.
3. How many sets should I do? We recommend that you take between 15 and 25 sets in each workout. Are you over 25, you risk doing more harm than good.
4. How many repetitions should I take? A good rule of thumb is that if you want to be strong, you have to train with heavy weights and few repetitions, and if you want to be great and "buff", with lighter weights and more repetitions.
5. How long should I strength train? A training session including heating, training with a medium number of repetitions and subsequent extent will typically take in the region of an hour. If you can work for hours without feeling worn out, pushing you not yourself hard enough!
