BEGINNER'S
GUIDE TO WEIGHT TRAINING By Oliver Roberts.
Why weight training? You need to be strong to do what is often required
in the theatre and (need it be mentioned) film and television. If
you have ever had a major Shakespearean part (especially one where
it was physically challenging like Hamlet, Romeo, Anthony etc…)
you know the challenge of not only an enormous amounts of text,
but the incredible amount of strength and endurance it take to successful
navigate a this sort of role
This is a safe, effective, flexible whole-body training program
for health, fitness, and increased physical strength.
It’s
a six-week program for beginners who want to get
in shape and stay that way.
Many
beginners risk doing themselves harm by starting weight training
without advice on the workout program that is best for them. Those
who follow The Beginner’s Guide to Weight Training
will never make that mistake.
Oliver
Roberts presents a self-assessment questionnaire to help readers
evaluate their level of health and fitness, then offers expert advice
on nutrition, clothing, and footwear. He follows up with information
on techniques and warm-up exercises, along with a three-days-per-week
program that extends for six weeks. Charts and diagrams will help
readers evaluate their progress, stay motivated, and develop long-term
habits for keeping in shape.
