Build your Own Gym at Home!
In case you are faced with these difficulties, consider building your home gym to achieve your fitness goals and thus stay in shape. There are different ranges of exercise equipment that you can use at home. Time and weather conditions no longer pose problems. But the question what equipment you should buy?
If you start doing fitness exercises for the first time, or even if you become active again after a long pause, it is advisable not to do physical exercises in your gym at home. Instead, you must register with a local gym for a short period. This can help you check a number of fitness equipment available on the market today. You can ask your fitness instructor the advantages and disadvantages of its equipment and how they can meet your fitness needs. Thus, you can list the equipment that you will buy for your home gym.
If bodybuilding is your main objective, then the first step is to buy a set of weights. You can buy free weights that are less expensive. Prices can be as low as $ 50 or less. But you need a combination of weights weighing 4.5 kg (10lb) and 9kg (20 lb) is a dumbbell in hand with a bar. The end of this bar is replaceable with other weights for more flexibility. There are different types of bars. But it's your choice whether to use plastic or metal weights. The metal weights are traditional weights used even before but plastic weights are more modern.
How to use the weight training program?
Heating?
Although this program is not very demanding on your body, we strongly advise you to warm up before starting resistance training. The heating can bring more blood to muscles and reduces the risk of injury.
Should I stretch?
It is indeed advisable to stretch after a workout. Stretching helps keep a good range of muscle and even made to improve the performance of your movements.
How many exercises should I do?
For each muscle group, choose an exercise. If you wish, you can select 2 exercises for the lower limbs and abdominal muscles (total of 8 exercises).
How it works?
For each exercise, you will have 12 to 15 repetitions, giving you a series. Take a break and repeat the process until you reach 3 sets of 15 repetitions.
Increase the load?
If at the end of your series, you do not feel that your muscles have enough "work", you can increase the load. Example: You can switch between weighing 3 to 5lbs. If you do not want to increase the load, you can increase the number of repetitions performed during the series.
Warnings against
If you suffer from arthritis, abnormal pressure or heart problems, you should consult your doctor before starting anything.
Description of muscle groups
Pectoralis majorThis muscle is located in the chest. When you request, you are sure to have a stronger and increase your energy. When you push with your two hands, it is the main muscle requested.
Triceps
Group of 3 muscles in the back of the arm, they are used to make an extension of the elbow. When approached properly, your triceps will gain tone and decrease the famous fat area at the back of the arm.
Back
Large muscle covering much of the back. It is mainly used in drawing movements. By seeking to various locations, you will put all chances on your side to avoid back problems (top and bottom).
Biceps
Group two muscles located inside of your arms. They are used to perform an elbow flexion. To stimulate them properly, you will add more shape and tone your arms.
Lower limbs
Located "below the belt", these members are probably the biggest boost. First, they allow you to walk and run. Because they are bulky, when properly worked, they allow you to burn maximum calories. Finally, weight training put pressure on the joints, which will increase your bone density.
Abdominal
Located under the belly and sides of your body, they are, after the lower limbs, the most important muscles of your body. First, they connect your legs to your upper limbs. Then they will ensure good stability when walking and finally, when properly stimulated, they give a very attractive look to the abdomen.
Deltoids
These are the muscles that cover your shoulders 2. They are primarily used to raise the arm on the front and side. When you train your deltoids, you are sure to give tone and curves to your shoulders. Moreover, the fact of applying pressure on the muscle area could help you avoid some common injuries often caused by too small muscles (muscle mass too small).
5 Helpful Things to Do to Start Your Personal Fitness Program
The most common challenge that people I talk to face is how to incorporate fitness into their lives. They know they have to do something to get in shape but they really don’t know how. It can be discouraging because of the abundance of information out there. So much that you may not know where to begin.
Our society has so many food choices that it is easy to pack on the extra pounds. Also our day to day jobs are less physical as they where 100 years ago so we have more sedentary life styles. We know there are benefits involved when we exercise and cleaning up or diet. However, most of us know don’t know how or where to start.
So where do we begin? Or is the question: How do we begin?
The very first thing you need do is go to your doctor and get the approval to start exercising. Your doctor may also provide some helpful tips as well.
After you get the “OK” from your doctor, try these 5 things to help you get started:
Make the Choice to Start Exercising and Eating Right
Making the decision to do something provides a form of commitment you made to your self. Deciding that you need to change behavior creates new possibilities. When you say to your self “I need to get in shape”, it means something. You should be answering these questions in your mind: When can I work out? What exercises do I need to do? What foods should I be eating? Make your self think about the commitment you just made. Only then you can let go of the past and take steps to move forward.
Write Down What You Do
You need a reference that is realistic towards your weekly activity. Write down everything you do during the week. This should include work hours, commuting hours, nights spent with your spouse, your child’s activities and anything else you can think of that you do. You should also include what you do on weekends. You should make a list for each day of the week. Here’s why…..
Some people set lofty goals like working out for 2 hours a day. This can be due to an old saying, “More is Better”. However, this is not the case. Knowing your schedule will help you set realistic goals and help you find a few hours a week to start exercising. You’ll have a visual perspective on what you can and can’t do with your routine.
Research and Get Information
Most people do not have enough information before they start a work out program. So how do we get the information we need? The good news is we live in the information age. Take advantage of your favorite search engine and learn a little bit about fitness and nutrition. However, do not go overboard and lose focus. Find a source of information you like and take notes. Find the simplest and easiest workouts and nutrition tips. Don’t over load yourself with information.
If you have the money, hire a personal trainer for a few sessions to help you get started. Hiring a personal trainer is a great way to get started because you have made a commitment to meet someone to workout. Your goal is to have the trainer show you the basics on exercise and eating healthier. It may also be safer to learn how to perform the exercises (especially if you have not exercised for a while).
Create a Simple Plan and Set Realistic Goals Keep it Simple!
Following a simple plan while on a hectic schedule is much easier than following an elaborate plan. You should have a plan of which days you want to work out and one goal to change your eating habits for the next few weeks. For example, “I will work out for a half an hour for 3 days this week. I will eat a little less each meal.” Simple is success.
Execute Your Plan
Now that you have a plan, all you need to do is follow it. This is another big step. You should look at your plan every day upon waking. You need be mentally prepared for the great day ahead of you. Having your daily schedule in hand will help you achieve your goals for the day. When you complete your workout for the day, highlight it or cross it off your list. It will show you that you accomplished something for yourself. No matter what you must execute. This will be the hardest (and most rewarding) step. I hope these things help you get started on a new life of physical fitness. Life is filled with making decisions, knowing your commitments, getting information, planning and execution. Try these approaches for yourself and you will see that having your own workout and nutrition program is not as far fetched or complicated as you think.
2 Simple Steps To Ripped Summertime Muscles
How do they usually go about this?
They lighten up the weights and perform higher reps.
This has always been a widely accepted method of “cutting down” and if you ask most trainers in the gym they’ll tell you that “heavy weights bulk up the muscle and lighter weights define the muscle”.
Do you want to know the reality behind the “light weight and high reps” method of obtaining a ripped and defined physique?
It is completely, totally and utterly DEAD WRONG.
It couldn’t be farther from the truth. In fact, there is no logical basis for this way of training whatsoever, and whoever dreamt up this downright ridiculous way of thinking has caused the vast majority of lifters to waste their time and impede their progress in the gym.
Let me clear this up once and for all: you CANNOT spot reduce. In other words, it is physically impossible to target fat loss from a specific area on your body. Performing bench presses with light resistance and high repetitions will not magically burn fat off of your chest or cause it to appear harder and more defined.
Every single time you wrap your hands around a barbell, dumbbell or cable, your goal is to stimulate as much muscle growth as you possibly can. There are no special, secret weightlifting exercises that will “define” your muscles or cause them to become more “ripped”.
Training with weights builds muscle mass, end of story.
So how exactly do you “define” a muscle?
The only way to “define” a muscle is by lowering your body fat level in order to make your muscles more visible. Body fat reduction can be achieved in two ways:
1) Modify your diet.
You should lower your overall caloric intake to around 15x your bodyweight and focus on consuming smaller meals more frequently throughout the day. This will keep your metabolism naturally raised at all times and will keep your body in a constant fat burning state. Limit your intake of saturated fats and simple sugars, and focus instead on consuming lean sources of protein and low glycemic carbohydrates. It is also very important to keep your water intake high at a level of around 0.6 ounces per pound of bodyweight.
2) Perform proper cardio workouts.
Let go of the traditional method of moderate intensity cardio in 30-45 minute durations. If you want to maximize your body’s fat burning capacity and also minimize the muscle loss that inevitably accompanies a fat burning cycle, focus on shorter cardio workouts performed at a high level of intensity. These types of workouts will shoot your resting metabolism through the roof and will allow you to burn maximum amounts of fat even when you are at rest. I recommend 3-5 high intensity cardio sessions per week, spaced at least 8 hours away from your weight workouts.
That’s all there is to it, folks. Take the notion of “light weight and higher reps” and throw it right out the window, down the street and around the corner. Following this misguided method will only cause you to lose muscle mass and strength, and will not assist you in burning fat or defining your physique.
All you need to do to mold those rock-solid muscles for the summer time is this:
1) Train with heavy weights and low repetitions to build maximum muscle mass.
2) Modify your diet and implement cardio workouts to eliminate body fat and create visibly harder and more defined muscles.
End of story.
I’ll see you at the beach!
