Good Evening Team,

Congratulations Team for the Fantastic Job in completing your Monthly Goals for April! Well Done.

Hope you will join me for this next New Month of May! Let’s Finish Strong Together.

For the Month of May we will Focus on Strength Training with aiming to Add new Tools to help us exercise and make the most of our Fitness sessions. Let’s get Stronger and Healthier and be the best we can be.

This month I encourage you to try the Following Exercises in at least One Fitness Video and try using Hand Held Light Weights for your Strength Training Sessions.

Strength training: by Mayo Clinic Staff
Strength training can help you tone your muscles and look better. With a regular strength training program, you can lower your body fat, increase bone strength, increase your lean muscle mass and burn calories more easily.

Strength training doesn't have to take as long as you might think. Do strength exercises for all the major muscle groups at least two times a week. But don't exercise the same muscle group two days in a row.

Major muscle groups include the shoulders, arms, chest, abdomen, back, hips and legs.

Strength training can be done at home or in the gym. Free weights and weight machines are popular strength training tools, but they're not the only options.

You can do strength training with resistance bands, which don't cost much. Or you can even use your own body weight. See (Chicken Fat Video)

As I said above our Focus is on Strength Training but please Don’t forget Cardio Fitness is just as important. All 3 Fitness Video’s provides both Cardio and Strength Training exercises using Hand Held Weights!

Below are suggestions to get you started but please know you are welcome to use your own methods: the Key is: Eat Healthier and Keep Moving our Bodies!
