I just joined the gymnasium for the first time in years. Previously I have been doing Pilates from the comfort of my home. I however over indulged in the holidays and added 2 Kgs which I need to shed together with the five Kgs I was supposed to loose last year.
Gymnasium is now not a choice but prerequisite. I have worked out since I was in varsity and I have to admit the most difficult thing is the ability to maintain consistency in one's work out regime. People tend to lose interest or burn out. So how can you make a work out regime which will work for you in the long run? Here are 1 or 2 tips that I have learned from my own personal experience, others ' experiences and fitness trainers.
Don't get over excited
Much of the time folk give up on their work out regime because they started with too much psych and suffered burn out too soon . Take it in tiny steps. If it's jogging commence with a kilometer or 2 and add a kilometer every week or every few days after that. This way you give your body time to adjust accordingly without burning out.
Quality NOT Quantity
Understand your body and do not target the other people in the gymnasium. Instead focus upon you. How high can you kick without tearing a muscle? It may not be high as others but what is the impact? Don't beat yourself up if you're the sole one who can't do fifty sit-ups in a row. Focus on how many you can do at a time and the impact they have on you. With time each exercise will become better to execute.
Have a reason
Much of the time folks work out sorely to loose wait and as quickly as they start seeing the results they loose the motivation to put in as much effort as they did when they first commenced.
If you want to loose weight, create an initial plan that will probably be more assertive and when you achieve your ideal weight, create a new plan that may help you sustain your perfect weight. A long term plan should be moderate and that is why most physical exercise gurus information that at least 3 days of exercise for a duration of thirty min to an hour in each session, is adequate. If you have the energy, drive and time to work out 5 to six days every week, that's fine too .
Take time off
It is important for you to take time off your work out regime to give your body an opportunity to recuperate. Or you will suffer significant burn out and most likely harm yourself in the procedure. The Monday, Wednesday and Fri. work out systems works great for most people.
Don't Push Too Hard
In a gymnasium most instructors like to bump us to our limits and infrequently it's good particularly for those who lack inducement. But you have to be careful because an instructor doesn't know and understand your body like you do. Should you ever feel uncomfortable or in awful pain in especially your back ( spine ) or neck, don't push it. Stop and work out if you're doing the exercise properly because doing it wrong will result in injury. Visit a surgeon who can define if you happen to have any wounds that could be worsened by some exercises.
I have a lumbar region problem so when in the gymnasium I refuse to engage in some of the exercises, which I know for sure would cause more damage to my backbone. I would however not know which exercises are not good for my back had I not seen a surgeon.
Understand Your Body
Last but not least, understand your body. Are you big boned? Do you come from a family of naturally skinny or apparently fat folk? How briskly do you loose weight? What's your blood type and diet habit? I am 4ft eleven" and I have my mothers body. We are short and chubby and so are my aunts and gramps. That is just genetics. Irrespective of how hard I work out I have never been smaller compared to a size 8.
I also have little light bones and always look heavier than my tangible weight. It might thus not make sense for me to attempt to look slim like a 5ft nine" model. I am curvaceous and pretty and I have come to like it. I now focus on accomplishing healthy weight and toned muscle.
