💪🏼🏋️New resistance training guidelines from the American College of Sports medicine💪🏼🏋️
The first update in 17 years! ACSM looked at 137 studies with over 30,000 participants total which all concluded that “progressive resistance training” improved strength, power, and function, which translates to improved mobility, longevity, and independence.

Progressive resistance training is not “one size fits all” but rather a tailored program using any equipment like machines, free weights, barbells, kettlebells, resistance bands, water, even body weight. To build strength: increase weight and decrease reps. To grow muscles: increase weekly volume (10 sets per muscle group). And To build power use moderate loads with faster movements. Aim for at least 2x per week for all major muscle groups.

We start to lose muscle in our 40s so building and preserving muscle is key to avoiding muscle loss. We also know that muscle is very important for metabolic health and weight management, bone density, chronic disease prevention, immune support, injury prevention.

Thank you to my friends at for helping me achieve my resistance training goals! 💪🏼💚

💉Dry needling is generally considered to be a safe technique to alleviate pain, but no procedure in medicine is without risks! Ask your care team if dry needling can be a part of your treatment plan.
