Exercise program

Hi everybody and welcome to my blog about exercise program. This is the blog for all your fitness and exercise problems.

Today topic is "Is it better to be fast or slow?"

That is an age-old question that may be best exemplified by the race between the tortoiseand the hare. Sure, the speedy hare might take the lead at the start of the race, but the slow tortoise catches up with his steady pace.

This race reflects may aspects of life and exericise program. Yet rather than talking about your pace on the treadmill, we're addressing the speed with which you do your repetition in the gym.
If you haven't given much fought to your rep. speed, now is time to do so.

Scientists from university of Sydney advice you to do both.
Employ both fast reps and slow reps to maximise gains in strenght and size. Try alternating your rep speed every 4-6 weeks. During slow rep take about 3-5sec in both positive and negative phase. During your fast rep phase keep each portion under one second.

That's it for now but stay tuned for more
