the Exercises are executed correctly, in order to have a maximum efficiency: you Focus on the quality of the execution, so slowly and controlled through the full movement extent. Rule of thumb: 12 seconds for a repetition. Series without Discontinuation of the training load, repetition, repetition – until full fatigue. Short rest between Exercises, take a SIP of water. Select a load (weight), the you about 2 minutes.
Follow these principles, it is enough a rate (approx. 10 to 12 repetitions) per Exercise. Ideally, two to three strength training sessions per week, from the age of 65. Year of age, better three. Between the training days, a distance of at least 48 hours should lie.
