Tips For Better Workout

September 21, 2009


Change should be Constant: If some workout is working great for you right now, it isn’t a guarantee that it would be great even after 2 months. Like you become bored of doing the same stuff so does your body. Make sure you bring changes in your workout every 6-7 weeks.

Don’t stretch before your exercise: You might think that I’m mad but you shouldn’t stretch but warm-up before your exercise. This would help your muscles get tuned to perform exercise.

Stretch after workout: When you get a mild injury you stretch to get relief from pain. Similarly post exercise you should make it sure that you stretch the muscle for at least 10-15 minutes.

Exercise outdoors: If you have been blessed with good weather, chuck the gym and the treadmill, workout in the open air instead.

Don’t overdo your workout: It is true that you want to lose weight and workout is important. A workout between 30-90 minutes is good enough for our body. Make sure you give your muscles rest and don’t work the same muscle out on consecutive days. Make sure you take out a day or two for rest.

Try multiple workouts: Instead of dragging yourself and becoming bored on the treadmill for entire half hour, you should try 15 minutes of different cardio sessions on different cardio equipments.

Work on your goals: I know you want to do 300 crunches or run at high on a treadmill for 45 minutes consecutively on your first day of working out. Ask yourself if this is practical. Always set practical goals for yourself. Set goals which you can achieve and assess your goals regularly.

Don’t be too hard to yourself: Don’t make yourself go through a torture, which of course many people do. You should stretch your limits a little but never go beyond a point where you might hurt yourself. Every moment you achieve your goals and push yourself a little it is a achievement for you. You should be really happy and proud of yourself.

In these ways, you can make your workout more effective.
