1. Success with Stregnth Training

Strength training is the most effective way to turn your body 
into a fat burning machine and stay in great shape! It is the 
most productive form of exercise there is! In order to be 
successful with strength training there are some basic principles 
that must be followed if you want to receive the many benefits 
which strength training has to offer! The three most critical factors
are progressive overload, intensity, and recovery.

Progressive overload simply means that you must force your 
muscles to work harder each time. That means you can't use 
the same weight every workout, regardless of how many sets 
or reps you do. The best way to do this is by attempting to 
increase the resistance / weight used and, or increase the 
number of repetitions performed at each workout.

Intensity is also very important. You must force your body to 
increase its strength. For example, if you typically do 3 sets of 
10 reps on the leg press at 115 pounds, and your legs are capable 
of doing 16 reps, why is your body going to make any improvements? 
Your body will only add muscle if you force it to work at a higher 
level than it is used to. The most effective way to overload your 
muscles is to perform one or two sets per exercise, and continue 
each set to muscular failure. That means continuing each set until 
no more repetitions are possible. Challenge yourself!
