Some suggest that once the muscles are thoroughly warm (after performing a couple of light-weight warmup sets) you should do one all out set to failure. Others suggest that you should perform 2 to 4 working sets to failure for each exercise. Almost everyone can agree that if you end up doing 30 sets for any individual body part, you are definitely overtraining (assuming that you take these sets to failure) or just wasting your time (assuming you don't take these sets to failure).

Generally speaking, we base our performances around the 5 ? 6 hour duration that most function and reception venues allow for their functions, including pre-dinner drinks. We understand that many function schedules don't always run on time. Therefore, we're flexible with how many sets we play and how long our sets are to coincide with the venue's function manager and the formalities (eg. speeches, presentations, etc.).

In stark contrast to the BS most people have been fed about doing 100's of reps, I contend that your abs are muscles, and like other muscles, they respond to high-intensity exercise, not high reps. Think about it this way, you would not curl 5 lbs for 100 reps and expect big, strong biceps (I hope). Same goes for abs. The best solution is to hit them hard and fast! I like three sets of 10 to 15 reps for each ab zone. See similar questions...

A:Muscle groups are composed of thousands of fibres. These fibres work together but fatigue at different rates. They are classified as slow-twitch, intermediate and fast- twitch. When you start an exercise the slow-twitch (type 1) fibres are activated first. When they tire, fast-twitch (type 2a) fibres are recruited, which have much less endurance than type 1. As the type 2a fast-twitch fibres fatigue, they are replaced by the type 2b fast twitch-fibres, which will have even less endurance. See similar questions...

Don’t worry! Children’s coordination varies greatly and they are very flexible. The videos are designed so Mom can get a great workout and spend quality time with their child. If the children are rolling on the floor instead of stretching, running around instead of doing jumping jacks, or just sitting and watching the video, then the video is doing exactly what it was designed to do. It is still getting your child moving and teaching the concept of exercise. See similar questions...

Yes, you may, unless you have been directed by your physician not to (example; high risk for premature delivery). You should not start any new demanding exercises you were not doing prior to pregnancy. Your pulse rate should not go above 150 beats per minute and you should stay well hydrated. The activity should be low impact. A good rule of thumb is that you should be able to carry on a conversation while performing the exercise. Walking and swimming are good options.
