Personal Trainer Northampton Blog

Hello again!  I am very sorry it has been so long since I last posted.  As I explained, health took another turn for the worse.  It really can disrupt everything and that is one of the things I hate the most about it. 

My post today is entitled resistance training.  I have begun to incorporate this into my routines recently.  It consists of using, in my case, merely a rag or old T-Shirt.  It is effective for stomach exxercises, Overhead Tricep extensions and even Rows for the lower back.  My training partner pulls on the other end continuously, providing resistance as I pull in the opposing direction.  It works the muscles in a slightly different way to training on a machine or with free weights.  I find it great to finish of an exercise and use to work the muscle in question to failure.

Do you/have you used anything similar?  Are youa fan of resistance training or in fact against it?  I would, as always, love to hear your comments.

Many thanks and it’s great to be back
