Men
workout for many reasons, whether it's to lose weight, shape up their bodies,
add muscle, or increase physical activity. The ultimate goal is to keep the
body fit. While there is a wide variety of exercise equipment for use at the
gym or home, but unless the equipment and/or workout routines are appropriately
applied, the results may not be effective.
In
order to burn calories and increase muscle mass, it is recommended that the
following weightlifting exercises are implemented: shoulder, chest, and leg
press, as well as squats. You should adhere to the following advices to ensure
that you are performing your workouts appropriately:
* Concentrate on form
* Utilize multi-joint movements
* Master the technique
* Begin warmup sets
* Allow each muscle to do its own work
* Limit the number of sets
* 10-minute cool down
* Allow up to 10 days rest between
workouts
* Perform cardio workouts after
weight-training exercises
* Keep a record of your progress
* Alternate use of equipment
* Work different muscle groups every
session
* Consume up to 3,000 in calories a week
Whether
you exercise on your own or use a personal trainer, begin slowly and work up to
a comfort level before advancing to the next phase. It is advisable to begin
training on the large muscles first, then moving on to the smaller muscles as
the energy required for them is less. In addition, to avoid injury the best
advice is to always pay attention to the messages your body is sending out. If
you are tired, stop; if your back is hurt; stop. Use your common sense, don't
try to over exert your body.
Finally,
stretching before the workout to warm your body and stretching after the
workout to cool down are two very important routines to remember. Stretching
will reduce the risk of injury during a workout.
