Was your New Year’s resolution to get in shape but you haven’t found time to hit the gym? Do you come from a hard day’s work and feel too tired to get back out and hit the gym? Do you lack knowledge of exercises and aren’t getting any results?
If your answer is yes any of these questions you might want to read further into this article. You don’t have to join a gym to be fit and healthy, you just need the right knowledge. Why do people pay fitness instructors so much? It’s because their knowledge of how to work out and how much to work out is important. Once you gain the knowledge and the form to perform the exercises in the correct manner you can even work out in your own home without a lot of equipment. Some great equipment to consider is Body Solid Home Gyms. There are several to choose from to meet your specific fitness needs.
The key to being healthy and fit is discipline. Even if you have a great system like Body Solid, you have to keep a routine of when you are going to work out. Once you have made your commitment, it’s time to make a workout routine.
You might want to start slow if you haven’t done any exercise in the last month. The key is to develop your muscles slowly. Your muscles grow only when you are resting, so let’s get one thing straight: you don’t need to spend hours working out. Your workout routine should last about 30 – 45 minutes.
Work smarter, not harder. At first it is recommended that you do only free-hand exercises. This will get your body strong enough to lift your own weight. So to start off you may want to do pushups, pull-ups, and sit-ups. These will develop your core muscles. You can try about 3 to 5 sets of 10 reps each.
Once you have completed about 2 weeks of core training you may move on to weight training. When training with weights, always start with a light weight, it’s not important how much weight you can lift—it’s about the form. Form is everything; correct form will develop your muscles properly. For the correct form and technique of lifting weights you can search for videos on YouTube (try typing “six pack shortcuts”). As you get stronger you can gradually increase the amount of weight. The first thing when starting weight training is to divide your body into different body parts and allocate a certain day for each body part. For example: Monday = Biceps, Tuesday = Shoulders, etc. This will allow overall development of your body and help you target each muscle. You also have to keep in mind to set rest days in the week; 2 rest days should be allocated during the entire week.
Once you have set your routine, stick to it, and you can develop a lean, well-toned body from working out at home. Light weights help to develop muscle and are easy to keep in the house; also remember to train smarter, not harder, and don’t waste time between sets. Make sure you leave adequate time for your body to heal and repair the muscle tissue. Don’t over train, as it will only lead to stressing your muscle. Maintain discipline and you can have a leaner body in 3 to 4 months.
