Strength Training

TBfit.com provides year-round strength training programs. In the past out strength programs included specific exercises, sets and repetitions to be completed. This format worked well for some people, but we needed to make it more helpful for those just starting out or with limited equipment. To meet more individual needs we use a format where you can select an exercise that best meets your needs.

Directions for designing an individualized program:

Print out the Strength Training Program of the month. The Exercise Sheet includes the target muscle group and the movement. For example: (Quads) 2X-leg push, (Quads) 1X-leg push, (Chest)-Push or (Back)-Pull.
If you need to alter the exercise for any muscle group, go to the Exercise Planner to select alternative exercises. The Exercise Planner provides several exercise options for each Muscle group/Movement with progressive levels of difficulty. If you don't have access to a particular piece of equipment or you don't know how to do an exercise, choose an exercise that will still target that specific muscle group. Progress to harder exercises to make the program more challenging.
If you need instructions on how to do an exercise, you can search for an explanation in our Exercise Encyclopedia.
If you would like to do additional torso training on non-strength training days then you can go to the Torso Training section. The Torso Training directory provides various torso exercises ranging from easy to more difficult. Torso circuits can change every 3-4 weeks to make the program challenging and to get better results.
Record all the exercises that you selected on your Exercise Sheet.
