We ought to start by admitting that achieving and sustaining fitness can be difficult and arduous. Although that is true, it is still important since it helps you stay healthy. Luckily, getting fit doesn’t have to involve an extreme fitness program like P90X. Results are possible even with some effort and putting time in. It may even be a little enjoyable for you.
Many people think the only way to get fit is by lifting weights. There are six exercises that you need: bridges, handstand push ups, push ups, pull ups, squats, and leg raises.
Try fitness classes with your friends to increase your level of motivation. If you keep it fresh you will find something you want to focus on and inspire you to go to the gym. Try out a dance or pilates class. Even a kickboxing workout or boot camp would do. If you don’t like a certain activity, you don’t have to try it again, but will burn some calories just trying.
Exercise during your television shows to keep your weight loss momentum going all the time. Sit-ups, leg lifts and walking in place can be done during the whole show or just during commercial breaks. You can even work with small weights while you sit on the sofa. There is always another opportunity to get some more exercise in.
Heavier Weight
Simple rule for working out to build your body: Fewer reps with heavier weight will build more muscle mass. Begin by selecting a muscle group, such as the chest. To warm up, do a set using weights you can lift easily. Try a lot of reps of light weights to get your blood and muscles ready. The next set should include about 6 to 8 repetitions with a heavier weight. When you get to the final set, increase the weight that you lift between 5-10 pounds.
Wear whatever you feel most comfortable in during workouts. If you use a gym, there is some pressure to wear new, high end workout clothing but this is unnecessary. The clothing you wear should permit you to move freely without embarrassment. Wearing the correct clothing helps you put your emphasis on working out, not on your clothes.
Fitness is not easy or always fun, but if you develop a program that corresponds to your interests and find a way to remain motivated, you will truly enjoy working out. And you do not have to go through this by yourself. Help can be obtained but you have to know what to do to get started.
