1. Make a schedule – You can’t
just get started and do whatever
you want to. Make a work-out
schedule. Dedicate one day for
one part of your body and the
other day for the other part and
so on. For example, on Monday
work on chest and shoulders
and do exercises that are
performed to improve these
areas (like flat bench press).
2. Never forget the warm up -
Forgetting to warm up is the
worst thing you can do while
yearning to get a perfect body.
By doing an efficient warm up,
you prepare your body muscles
for the work-out that you are
going to do next. Exercising
without a warm up is just like
waking up and straight away
going to office, without taking a
shower or getting ready.
3. Keep a check on your diet –
Stop quenching your hunger
with 3 heavy meals a day! Rather
take 5-6 light, but nutritious
meals a day. This will cut down
your weight gain and provide
some real stuff to your muscles
and strengthen them. That
traditional ‘3 meals a day’
formula doesn’t works anymore.
It can just make you fat and then
fatter.
4. Stay hydrated – Water is
something that has a vital role in
the overall functioning of human
body. Most of the ‘inside body’
processes requires water as a
vital constituent. When we work
out (either weight exercises or
cardiovascular exercises), we
sweat. The more we work out,
the more we sweat. This leads to
the deficiency of water in the
body. If you don’t consume
sufficient water while you work
out, you may face few health
issues. However, this doesn’t
mean that you should drink more
than required amount of water,
as that may lead to vomiting. Just
drink the amount of water you
need. Apart from the work out,
you must drink at least 2 liters of
water daily.
5. Increase your resistance, but
keep it gradual -Here the word
‘resistance’ is used for intensity.
Intensity depends upon weight,
speed and duration of workout.
It is a general tendency that
people who have just started
working out, after 2-3 days
believe that they have gained
stamina enough to double the
weight, or increase the
repetitions and so on. This isn’t
right. By doing this you can even
hurt yourself. So, better keep this
increment gradual.
