A Christian Guide to Body Stewardship, Diet and Exercise

172 Chapter 8: Exercise Programming • The order in which exercises are performed does appear to matter when combining strength and endurance training into a single training session. Therefore, whichever component of fitness (i.e., strength or endurance) needs the most work should be performed first. However, if strength training and endurance training are performed at different times on the same day (e.g., morning and evening workouts), then the order has no consequence. • There are essentially three steps to design a comprehensive exercise training plan based on an individual’s overall training goals: 1) Determine the number of days per week to allot for exercise, 2) decide the type of exercise training plan for each fitness component, and 3) list the exact training parameters for each training session.
