Strong Adults Stay Young (SASY)
Myth: It Takes Too Much Time to Strength Train
No, it doesn't. You can perform an effective workout in as little
as 30 minutes a few times per week. As long as you are performing
compound exercises and challenging yourself (using enough
weight), and you improve your performance, you don't need a lot
of time.
In fact, you can get in a much more effective, productive
strength training workout in 20 minutes than you could with 45
plus minutes of traditional cardio. Doing squats, push-ups, and
inverted rows for 20 minutes will do much more for your physique
than plodding along aimlessly on a cardio machine for 45 minutes.
You can lift like a girl and get maximum results in minimum time.
Our SASY routine consists of 12 exercises to improve strength
and balance. We use hand weights but weights are not required
to gain the benefits of strength training. Weights enhance muscle
tone. So, when the regimen gets too easy, we recommend using
weights. The length of the class is usually about 30 minutes.
It is a lot of fun and we enjoy the social interaction while
moving our bodies. Come join us on Tuesdays and Thursdays at
7:30 am in the Lodge Ballroom.
