This routine has been designed for the beginning youth strength trainer. It will help develop a base, and provide fundamental knowledge of weight lifting. It should last about 2 months or 8 weeks of training. It is characterized by high repititions, with a single set for each exercise. A rest period of 48-72 hours between exercise days is important to allow a young persons muscles to recover properly. Please note the 10-minute warm-up and cool-down phases which are also critical to the routine. Warm-up should NOT incorporate dynamic stretching, but rather dynamic movements like calisthenics (e.g. jumping jacks, heel-ups, etc.), to properly raise core body tempreture and prepare muscles for accompanying workout. Cool-down activities should include static stretching (e.g. calf stretch, upper back stretch, etc.) to the point BEFORE discomfort occurs. Remember to hold the position while continuing to breathe normally for 15-30 seconds. Remeber to keep it fun and use it to build confidence in participants.
