Women’s Exercise: The 5 Rs Principle
The 5 Rs Principle is a helpful framework for those new to exercise, guiding the creation of effective workouts. Each 'R' highlights a key component of a fitness routine, encouraging a comprehensive approach.
Range of Motion
Range of motion involves a joint's ability to move through specific actions. For optimal results, exercises should be performed from a fully stretched to a fully contracted position. Many beginners, as well as some experienced gym-goers, often don't extend fully, particularly in exercises like preacher curls. This can lead to injury and underperformance. It's crucial to work all muscles surrounding a joint to enhance joint health and mobility.
Resistance
Choosing the right weight is crucial for beginners. Contrary to popular myths, lifting heavier weights doesn’t lead to bulkiness in women. It's important to select a weight that allows proper form but is challenging enough to ensure you can't perform another rep by the end of a set.
Repetitions
The number of repetitions greatly influences workout outcomes. Lower reps (3-8) enhance strength, medium reps (10-20) build strength endurance, and higher reps (20-40) develop aerobic endurance. Beginners should start with medium reps to master form and experience muscle fatigue. As they progress, they can tailor set/rep schemes to personal goals. Achieving muscular failure within these ranges is key to results.
Rest
Rest is essential between sets. Generally, a rest of 1-2 minutes is sufficient for those working in medium repetition ranges. This allows the body time to regenerate ATP and phosphocreatine, crucial for muscle contraction. Longer rests are usually only needed for heavy lifting sessions aimed at building absolute strength.
Recovery
Recovery is as important as the workout itself. Beginners should allow at least 48 hours between sessions targeting the same muscle group, exercising each one no more than twice a week. As fitness levels advance, this often reduces to once a week per muscle group.
