Training Tips

Before you begin


You are strongly encouraged to consult with a physician
before starting any nutrition or exercise program.
To avoid injury during or after any physical activity,
always perform adequate warm-up and cool-down
stretches included in this guide. Each stretch should
be held for at least 60 seconds.

During the workout


Give yourself adequate rest periods between sets
and exercises. In many instances, this guide includes
recommended rest periods.
Concentrate on proper breathing throughout your
workout (deep breaths, in through nose and out
through mouth).
Maintain correct spine alignment to reduce risk of injury.
Concentrate on engaging your core muscles during the
entire exercise.

After the workout


Take one full day of rest after working a specific muscle
group to give it time to recover.
Proper cool down stretching is recommended.

Don’t forget the cardio


Any functional strength training program should include
cardiovascular exercise, such as walking, running, or
bicycling, to help improve your metabolism and overall
health as you strengthen your heart and lungs.
Horizon Fitness offers a full line of cardio equipment to
complement our functional strength training home gyms.
To find the Horizon treadmill, elliptical or exercise bike
that helps you enjoy a total body workout at home,

Progressing Your Routine


Changing your functional strength program every 4 to 6
weeks helps ensure that you will continue to see results
from your program, and avoid boredom with your routine.

Variations include:
• Number of sets, repetitions, and rest intervals.
• Amount of weight lifted.
• Increased demands on stability and balance.

Each variation will lead you to a different result.


Progression 1:
Visible Muscle Toning/Development
As you increase the weight, decrease the number of
repetitions within each set.
• 6
 to 12 repetitions in each set (decrease weight as
you increase reps)
• 3 to 5 sets per exercise
• Rest period between sets: less than 60 seconds

Progression 2:
Maximize Strength Gains
To fully develop the strength of your muscles, increase
your weight to a level that allows you to complete 1 to
5 repetitions.
• 1 to 5 repetitions in each set (based on weight)
• 4 to 6 sets per exercise
• Rest period between sets: 3 to 5 minutes

Progression 3:
Increase Stability & Balance
Try standing rather than sitting, standing on one leg rather
than two, isolating one arm or leg before working on the
opposite side, or adding rotation to your movement.
You can introduce stability training equipment by
replacing your home gym’s seat with a fitness ball, or
standing on a half foam roll, while performing your
movements. Or you can mimic the demands of a
specific sport or daily activity.
• 12 to 20 repetitions
• 1 to 3 sets per exercise
• Rest period between sets: less than 90 seconds
