Upper body 10-12 repetitions Lower body 12-15 repetitions ***You will have to experiment with the proper load selection. Be conservative the first few sessions, focusing on form, rather than weight. It is always best to err on the side of the weight being too light rather than too heavy. If your form breaks down, the weight is too heavy and you should not continue with the repetitions. For the three neck exercises, perform these with out weights the first few times. You can use you hand to provide resistance. Once you reach the high end of the repetition number, increase the weight slightly for the next session. Move in a circuit in the order of the exercises listed.
