Strength training in the summer

[Dogmama]

Is one strength training session a week enough to maintain? My trainer thinks it should be twice a week, but am wondering what others have experienced. Indeed, I am putting my club membership on hold for the summer - I can still see my trainer - just can't be there any other time. My apartment complex has a small fitness center and I do my own thing there as needed.

Current research says that two full body sessions are minimum for maintenance. I would do compound movements only. An easy & fast routine would be 1. squats, 2. pushups and a 3. pulling exercise for your back (e.g., rows, pull ups.) Three sets of twelve, stopping before your form gets bad. Then add some 90 second planks at the end & you're done.
