What 6 Exercise Tips That Really Work Experts Don't Want You To Know

Believe In Your 6 Exercise Tips That Really Work Skills But Never Stop Improving

6 practice tips that really work

I'm sorry, there's no way around it. If you want to be in shape, you have to eat well and move regularly. A pill will not do anything for you. Of course, you want to optimize the results of your exercise routine, and these training tips will help you.

Before starting any exercise program, make sure you talk to your doctor. This is especially important if you are really overweight and have not spent much time exercising or if you have some basic health issues. Ask your doctor what you need to do to change an exercise routine so that you can work around these problems.

Here are some practice tips to keep in mind to get more out of your workout:

1. If possible, train with a friend. It's much easier to stick to a workout routine when you and your friend do it together. There is a degree of peer pressure, none of you want to be undisciplined, and none of you want to abandon the other.

2. If you are new to training, try to find a coach to work with until you find a good routine. After you have worked out the basics, you can either continue working with the trainer (this can be another good motivator) or, if your budget is tight, give up the personal trainer and work independently.

3. Do not go crazy on the cardio aspect of your workout. Many people make this mistake. They think it's good to spend a lot of time on the treadmill or the elliptical, and that's it. However, the problem is that your body gets used to this effort, and ultimately, your results decline.

4. This goes along with number 3, do different types of cardio exercises. Do not let your body get used to a particular routine too much. You should change your exercise routine at least every 6 weeks or so. This will really maximize your results. Another benefit of periodic changes is that repetitive motion injuries, as you suspected, are reduced if you repeatedly perform the same movements.

5. If you are doing strength training (and everyone should, even women), do not make the mistake of driving too fast when doing a repetition. Many people go so fast that they actually allow most of the work to be done for them. This significantly reduces the effectiveness of the exercise. They want a very slow and controlled movement. Not only will you get the most out of the exercise, but it will also reduce the chances of hurting yourself.

6. You may not hear this too often, but if you are in a difficult time and can not really complete a workout (some cardio and strength training) and you need to choose one or the other, choose the weight portion of your workout. Strength training also has cardiovascular benefits, and the increase in metabolism you receive through strength training lasts long after the end of your workout.

I hope you found these tips helpful. To really train successfully, it's important that you find something that you really enjoy, and then just stick to it.

Take Your Body To The Next Level
How To Build A Super Impressive Physique

By Paul Becker

You’ve been trained very hard for some years now. You’ve build up some good muscle size, and your dieting and cardio workouts have given you some decent definition also. But you still feel like something is missing - you look good but you want to look great!

Well, now is the time to work on your “impressive muscles”. Some muscle groups are more likely to impress people then others, these are the muscle groups that people who have never trained with weights have little to no development in at all. When these areas are fully developed, they become super impressive to people on the street and even your fellow gym rats.

So if you’re ready to take your physique from merely looking good to looking amazing, then here are the areas to work on: 1) Wider Shoulders, 2) Thicker Pecs, 3) Larger Upper Arms, 4) Smaller Waist With Etched Abs and 5) Diamond Calves. When you have developed these to the max, you will take on a classic refined look that will put you a step above everyone else in your gym. OK, I know you’re excited and ready to get started, so let’s get to the workouts you’ll be doing for for each muscle group:

1) Wider Shoulders

What you want to do it maximize your development of the lateral head of the deltoid, this is what gives you width. Start with the Dumbbell Lateral Raise, use a weight that you can do in a slow and controlled manner. Hold the top position for a count of two and really feel the burn in the lateral head of your delts. Do 3 sets of 15 reps. Next is Barbell Upright Rows, keep your elbows high and the bar close to your body, hold at the top for a count of two while flexing your shoulders. Do 3 sets of 10 reps. To finish off your shoulders do Dumbbell Presses, keep your elbows back and don’t lock out at the top. Do 3 sets of 6 reps.

2) Thicker Pecs

Start off with Dumbbell Flys, keeping your arms bent. Get a good stretch at the bottom and come up like your hugging someone, do not touch the dumbbells at the top so you keep constant tension. Do 3 sets of 15 reps. Next is the Bench Press, Keep your elbows back and Don’t lock out at the top. Do 3 sets of 12 reps. Now Incline Dumbbell Press, while keeping your elbows back start at the bottom with the dumbbells wide and as you press move them closer together till then touch at the top, flex your upper pecs hard, lower and repeat. Do sets of 12 reps. Last is Parallel Bar Dips, keep your chin on your chest and your elbows out wide, not close to you body. Do 3 sets of 6 reps, add weight as you get stronger.

3) Larger Upper Arms

Alternating Dumbbell Curls, start off with the palms facing down and as you curl rotate the dumbbells up so your palms are facing up. Raise your pinkly high and flex you bicep hard at the top. Do 3 sets of 15 reps. Next do Barbell Curls, put one foot slightly forward and curl up with out bending back. Do 3 Sets of 8 reps. Lastly do Dumbell Hammer Curls, these build the brachialis a large muscle beneath the biceps. This is often a weak link in arm development. Many have found that by adding specific brachialis exercises to their workouts can increase their upper arm size by as much as one inch in a month. Do 3 sets of 10, 8 and 6 reps adding weight each set.

Now you’ll want to hit the long head of the Triceps and this will make your arms are look huge when standing relaxed. The First exercise is Bench Dips, place two flat benches parallel to each other, about three to four feet apart. Using your hands to support your weight, lift your feet to the top of the other bench so that the rest of your body is suspended between the two benches. Slowly lower your body toward the floor by bending your elbows until your upper arms and forearms form a right angle. Slowly rise back up to the start position by straightening your arms. The secret is to keep your elbows back and as close as possible to each other. Do 3 sets of 12 reps. Next is Dumbbell Kickbacks, keep elbows tight to side also trying to pull them as close together as possible. Hold and flex at the top for a count of two. Do 3 sets of 15 reps. Lastly Tricep Pushdowns, do 3 sets of 10, 8 and 6 reps adding weight each set.

4) Smaller Waist With Etched Abs

Frog Crunches. Lie flat on your back and draw your heels up under your knees wide and out to the sides like a frog. Place your hands with a barbell plate behind your head. Keep your head down with your chin on your chest as your shoulders round forward curl your upper body until only the small of the back remains in contact with the floor. This movement is not a stiff back sit up, it is a roll movement and you must perform it as such for it to produce results. Crunch Your abs hard at the top and hold for a count of of three. Do 3 sets of 20 reps. Remember cruches only tone the ab muscles, you need a lowered calorie intake to burn off the fat, to make the waist smaller and so the muscles then show through clearly.

5) Diamond Calves

Start with Seated Calf Raises, move slow (no bouncing) get a good stretch at the bottom then hold and flex your calf hard at the top for a count of two. Do 3 sets of 20 reps. Next is Standing One Leg Calf Raises, it's been found that a straight leg generates less torque than when the knee is slightly bent about 20 degrees keep it fixed at that angle throughout the exercise. Hold a dumbbell on the same side as the working calf, use you other hand for support. Do 3 Sets of 12 reps.

Hopefully you now see that training your "impressive muscles” will bring your physique up to a whole new level!
