The Best Way To Start Your Workouts

By Marc Jones


The gymnasium, a place of titanic struggles, classic distances, blood, sweat and sometimes tears! It is a place you go to boost yourself. As a coach I put 100 percent effort into my exercise programs and expect the same from my clients.

Did you know that a massive 60 percent of adults in the U. S. are fat? That worries me, seriously, how could things have got this bad. The junk food craze seems to have taken over. Folks very often will go for speed and convenience over planning and preparation.

Bearing this in mind, the people that do attend the gymnasium and make the attempts to reduce this figure or at least not let it get any worse. Wretchedly though it does take a bit more than merely turning up to the gymnasium to truly get a hold of your health and fitness and improve it.

I'm well aware that my readers are incentivized, educated and active people. So our workouts will be pretty intense, involving heavy weights, long distances and fast movements. At the end of the session we are often the ones on our knees in a pool of sweat!! Does it provoke you when you look up and see half the folks in there looking fresh as a daisy and having a chat! Most of the time these sort of people may not be in the very best of shapes.

You see it is not about simply going to the gym or going for a run, it's what you do while you train. Many folks do not have the data on the way to train properly, this is not their fault if they haven't been shown. So in this week's post I'd like to share with you five ways to lift your exercise routines, turning some of your gymnasium sessions from a stroll through the park to a repeated physical and mental battle.

1] Do not be boring in the warm-up. The warmup - Try and avoid an easy 5-10 minutes on a cardiovascular machine followed by some lacklustre stretching. Use the cardio machines to really boost your heart rate and steel yourself for some activity. Do some mobility exercises and some dynamic stretching. Mimic the movements you'll be doing in the session with your stretches. Also try one or two warm up sets using lighter weights to tune up your technique and get the muscles prepared for the movements.

2] Take a day off - It may seem peculiar that one tip in 'ways to power up your workout ' is to take a day off, but it is important. As you train you put your muscles through a little bit of a torrid time, they pick up tears which have to be repaired. Rest and good nourishment ( protein ) helps to recover the muscles the most efficiently and help them to return stronger. This is basically how we improve, we test our muscles to the edge, permit the muscles time to recover, then we go again.

If we don't allow our muscles sufficient enough time to recover then we aren't coaching to our full potential and we increase our prospect of picking up an injury. People combat this by coaching different muscle groups on separate days. If you do not would like to rest just go out for a nice walk / jog / cycle or go for a swim.

3] Progression - Do you do the same workout all the time? It is vital to improve and to keep an interest in exercise that things are mixed up a bit. When bench pressing 60kg 10 times begins to get simple it's not the time to pat yourself on the back, it is time to up it to sixty two / 64 / 65kg and try again. It actually is all about progression , your muscles need to constantly be adapting to new things and then pushed again. This is how we build and get better.

4] Go Intense - By adding some high-intensity interval training ( HIIT ) to your exercise sessions you can really raise your cardio fitness. Varying high speeds with low speeds over a short period of time will actually test your fitness level and help to lift your VO2 max. This also means you can get a full cardiovascular workout in half the time of your usual same paced run / cycle, and push yourself far more.

5] Go for massive movements - Machines in gyms are great for isolating muscle collections and give a great start to noobs learning to use weights. When you need to truly test yourself then free weights will be better. Free weights training incorporate many alternative muscles into the exercise by forcing them to work industriously to stabilize the muscles around the joint to hold the weight up.

The best types of exercise are the ones which work the most muscles. If you compare a concentration bicep curl with a clean which one do you actually think will involve more muscles? Yes manifestly the clean, it has a few phases and will work your lower body and upper body.

If you don't have weights then exercises like burpees or certain adaptations of press ups are great exercising involving the enormous muscle groupings. These exercises will make you tired lots more than your isolation exercises so it can be best to do them early on in your session while your muscles are fresh. [AJSCRB].
