I started my new work-out routine today, one body part per day with Pyramiding sets. Today I hit the Pecs for 50 minutes... It was a tough session, which is great and exactly what I was looking for. For each exercise I did 1 warm-up set and then 5 working sets. 3 Sets that go up in weight, the 3rd being the "Peak" of the pyramid, and then 2 descending sets. You'd think that when you're lowering the amount of weight on the bars that it would get easier or at least equal to when you were using the same weight going up... but that's not the case, those last 2 descending sets, after you've fatigued the muscles, can be harder than the "Peak" set to get through, because even though you're are using less weight you're upping the reps.
Here's 2 more reasons to exercise:
Men who reported vigorous activity for at least three hours per week had a 61% lower risk of a prostate cancer-specific death, compared with men who exercised for less than an hour per week.
Men who walked more than 90 minutes per week at a normal to brisk pace had a 46% lower risk of dying from any cause compared to men who walked less than 90 minutes per week.
From any cause? I guess they didn't include Natural Causes... I'm pretty sure that would bring the fatality rate to 100%. Life is Fatal 100% of the time, but there's no need to rush.
Good Day!
