Power Through Strength
Here is just a short video about how to build power through strength. It is just a brief introduction to strength training considerations as you add strength exercises to your overall exercise program. Please remember to only try these exercises if you have been cleared for unrestricted activity by your doctor or health practitioner.
Sample Endurance Program:
Frequency: 2-3 Times per Week
Type: Body weight exercises
Sets: 2-3 Reps: 10-12
As you progress, try adding more reps and then increase the amount of sets. Only increase one thing at a time to prevent injury.

Make sure you keep your lower legs parallel to the floor. – Keep your back as straight as possible and keep your lower back pressed to the floor. – Keep your abdominal muscles pulled in. – Don’t pull your neck up with your hands.
Abdominal Crunch ? Beginner & Intermediate
Lie flat on your back with your knees bent and your feet together and flat on the floor, about 25 – 30cm from your buttocks. Cross your hands over your chest, or cupped behind your ears. Without moving your lower body, curl your upper body up until your shoulder blades are as high off the ground as you can get them. As you come to the highest point, tighten your abdominals for 3 seconds. – Take care to keep your back straight. – Keep your neck straight (as an extension of your spine).
