This is an 8-week strength training routine (phase 2) designed for women who are looking for a full body strength training program. The goal here is to build strength and increase muscle. For this routine you will alternate between Workouts A, B and C for 3 days a week for 8 weeks. As you move forward with this routine you should increase the amount of weight performed for each exercise. With this small increase in the amount of weight that you lift, you will also need to decrease the number of repetitions that you perform. Here is the program breakdown for each of your 8-weeks. Weeks 1 - 2 : Two sets for each exercise for 15 reps. Weeks 3 - 4 : Two sets for each exercise for 12 reps. Weeks 5 - 6 : Three sets for each exercise for 10 reps. Weeks 7 - 8 : Three sets for each exercise for 8 reps. *** Note : For Abdominal Exercises Weeks 1 - 2 : Two sets for each exercise for 10 reps. Weeks 3 - 4 : Two sets for each exercise for 12 reps. Weeks 5 - 6 : Three sets for each exercise for 15 reps. Weeks 7 - 8 : Three sets for each exercise for 20 reps. Stay Strong Together, MICHAEL WOOD, CSCS Jefit
