6 sets for better sleep


6 sets per week

Fantastic news.  To sleep better? - Exercise, but not too much.  Here is a really short and helpful YouTube link:-

We can strengthen our five major muscle groups by repeating a set for each group a mere six times per week.  The groups are:-

·      Chest

·      Back

·      Abs/Core

·      Legs

·      Arms

Such a low number of sets requires a certain level of intensity, so start with weights that feel moderately heavy, even at first.

Before you start, make sure you warm up because a warm up is not included. Alternatively, go for a walk before you start.  Do jump in where you are and work at your own place.  You don’t need to be a champion, but be mindful of your own safety and feel free to stop at any time.

The session contains two to three sets for each muscle group and a stretch at the end.

This means that by repeating the “2nd half” session of the recordings two or three times week, you will have met the goal of keeping our strength up, as we age, by doing:-

 

6 sets per week.
