Some Regular Gym Tips

No Rules are meant to be Broken- Especially if it is related to Health.

Here are some of the Tips to improve your Workout :-

1 . Pre-gym snack :- Downing an energy bar before the gym can actually zap your energy. How come Many of those bars are high in fiber, which is normally a good thing, but it takes forever to digest. And that digestion requires energy, energy that would be better spent on your muscles. You end up feeling sluggish and having trouble pushing yourself. If you’re ravenous beforehand, opt for a banana, which is digested super quickly and won’t inhibit your gym time.

3. REAL Warm up :- Warm-up doesn’t mean 5 minutes walking on a treadmill or a few light sets of the bench press before you start adding heavier weight. You should be sweating before your program. Or at the very least, your heart rate should be significantly elevated. Stretching is not warming up! It is, however, a very important part of warming up. Warming up is quite literally the process of “warming up” (i.e., raising your core body temperature). A proper warm-up should raise your body temperature by one or two degrees Celsius (1.4 to 2.8 degrees Fahrenheit) and is divided into three phases: general warm-up ,stretching , sport-specific activity. A cold muscle is an ineffective muscle. So a bad warmup will lead to a bad workout. Or at least you’ll never meet your potential. The choice is yours. 

4. When to Stop :- A certain amount of discomfort during exercise is normal and inevitable after all, you are challenging your body to do more than it is accustomed to. And you can expect to have some sore muscles after a vigorous workout; often the soreness doesn’t show up until a day or two later, especially with strength training. But pain and other symptoms that occur during exercise can be warning signs that something is wrong. You should stop exercising right away if you: But pain and other symptoms that occur during exercise can be warning signs that something is wrong. You should stop exercising right away if you:  Have pain or pressure in the left or middle part of your chest, or in the left side of your neck, left shoulder or left arm, Feel dizzy or sick , Break out in a cold sweat, Have muscle cramps , Feel sharp pain in your joints, feet, ankles, or bones. Notice that your heart starts racing or beating irregularly If you start to experience these problems during high intensity aerobic exercise, it is best to immediately slow down. Allow your heart rate to drop gradually before stopping completely, since an abrupt stop can cause problems with blood circulation and fainting. However, in cases of severe and sudden pain, stop immediately, seek help, and follow up with your doctor.

5. Shorten Your Workouts :- Want to crank up your metabolism? Then don’t become part of this trend: 94 percent of people rest for more than 5 minutes between sets, while chatting with friends or watching TV. If you want to lose your gut, it takes hard work and a lot of sweat. That means shorter rest periods. How short? Anywhere from 10 seconds to 60 seconds, but no longer. Do more work in less time, and you’ll be surprised how much you’ll change your appearance.

6. Today is not a Shoulder Day :- Unless you’re a bodybuilder or, well, a bodybuilder, there’s really no reason to do a body part split. The most common complaint I hear from guys is, I have no time to work out.? And that’s valid. You have a busy lifestyle, with work, friends, family, and your fantasy league. So if time is a premium, why are you focused on spending five days a week in the gym? Especially when those five days focusing on a different body part will accomplish less than what you could do in three days targeting your entire body. Or you can try splitting your workouts between upper and lower body. Other options exist, too, but whatever your choice, just start looking at your body as a group of interconnected muscles, and not individual parts that you can isolate.

7. Stay Focused :- Warm-up doesn’t mean 5 minutes walking on a treadmill or a few light sets of the bench press before you start adding heavier weight. You should be sweating before your program. Or at the very least, your heart rate should be significantly elevated. Stretching is not warming up! It is, however, a very important part of warming up. Warming up is quite literally the process of “warming up” (i.e., raising your core body temperature). A proper warm-up should raise your body temperature by one or two degrees Celsius.

8. Keep Quiet :- Please do not talk to someone while they are doing a set. I don’t care how smart you think you are. Do NOT bother them. That is all.

9. Change the Pattern of Workout :- Are you sick and tired of lifting the same weight, day after day, week after week? Then, do something about it. Most people create their own plateaus by not pushing themselves to work harder. They settle on using the same weight, doing the same number of sets and reps. or, even worse, they stick to the same workout they’ve been doing for the last 10 years. Times have changed, and so should your workout and your attitude. You need to progressively challenge your body to work harder. Sometimes, the smallest changes can lead to the biggest results.

10. Enjoy your Workout :– Fitness is supposed to be enjoyable. If you can’t get excited about looking better, having more energy, improving your sex life, and fighting off every disease that threatens to shorten your lifespan, then I don’t know what to tell you.

11. Don’t overindulge afterwards :- Hey, there’s nothing wrong with replenishing yourself after a strenuous sweat session; in fact, it’s recommended you get some protein and carbs in your system within an hour of working out. What you don’t want is to totally undo all the hard work you just put in, which is extremely common. A recent study found that people tend to overestimate the number of calories burned and underestimate the number of calories consumed. To keep yourself from eating so much your workout becomes pointless, make sure you check the label of whatever you’re eating and aim for something in the 150 calories or under range.
