Learn How To Keep Yourself Fit As A Fiddle

By Coach Todd


Fitness is not an easy thing to maintain properly, but it is one that rewards you ten-fold for all the work you put in. However, in order to remain healthy, it is very important. Luckily, drastic steps are unnecessary. All you need to do is come up with a plan and follow through with it. You may even enjoy it.

Lift a higher amount of weight for a lower amount of reps. Select a certain muscle group and begin your routine. Make sure you do a set of reps using light weights. Do 15-20 reps during this warm-up set. For your second set, select a weight for which you can only perform 6-8 reps. When you are on your last reps you should add five pounds.

Warming up the right way is important when trying to increase muscle mass. Stronger muscles will be more stressed and prone to injury. If you take the time to warm up first, you can do your best to prevent any type of injury from happening. Prior to lifting, exercise lightly for about 10 minutes, and follow it up with about 4 light warm-up sets.

Doing thousands of crunches will not give you a six pack. Working your abs is great for developing your muscles, but aren't very effective for burning fat. To get those washboard abs, you need to decrease your body fat by doing cardio exercises and resistance training along with a well-balanced diet.

Should you discover that your are working out less, or creating excuses to elude exercise, you must develop a schedule.

Set a number of days during the week that you will work out, and stick to that number. You should schedule a replacement workout if you can't avoid skipping one, and make it a priority equal to your regular exercise routine.

Test any workout bench for adequate padding prior to use by pressing on the cushion firmly with your fingers. Choose a different machine if you can feel the hard wood beneath the cushion. Always workout on machines with enough padding; if not, you won't get enough support, and may experience bruising.

In short, getting in shape may not always be fun or easy, but if you have a good attitude and work hard, it can become both. You do not need to hurry to reach the finish line, and you do not need to do it all alone. Take this article to heart and follow what you have learned and you'll know where to begin.
