Muscular Endurance

It would be kind of pointless to be strong, but not be able to do anything for an extended amount of time.  That's why, in strength training, you should probably fit in some endurance training as well.  Otherwise...you could kind of be a pathetic-looking strong person. ;)  Here are some more terms I'm supposed to define in my blog:

High repetitions with Low Resistance:  Do the exercise many times over (repeat it) for endurance, but don't use an extremely heavy weight or resistance.

Sport Specificity: This just means....consistently train in the sport or exercise you want to do!  Don't swim a ton of laps if you're going to run a marathon!  Of course....it might be good cross-training, but it shouldn't be the focus of your training.

Work/Rest Ratio: I already talked about this below in my other blog post.  If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
