Here are a few tips for those who don’t know how to build their muscles.
- Don’t be under the illusion that if you workout like a maniac you will build muscles in a day. That is simply not possible! The key is to ease into the process gradually. You have to give your strengths a little time to be built. Moderate activity is exactly what you need.
- Don’t expect yourself to do 50 reps at once. 20 reps is the ideal range but even that cannot be achieved with the click of a finger. Hard work and consistent exercise is the key to do it.
- Change your eating habits. Bring more Carbs and proteins into your diet by adding things like egg-whites, low-fat yogurt, milk and cereal into your meals. The ideal time to fill your tummy is at breakfast and after training. Like a car, you need fuel to run and breakfast is the time when you fill your tank up. Keep a drink full of Carbs and proteins nearby to boost your energy after workout.
- Moderate exercises are good when you get into workout initially but that doesn’t mean that you keep running away from tough exercises. Multi-joint movements are tough but its worth it to learn how to do them. Once your joints are given proper exercise, you will be on the way to a healthier life.
- Cardio exercises are good but you need to keep them separate from weight lifting. You don’t want to run out of energy before the weight lifting part of the exercise comes.
- Warm up is a very important part of your exercise routine if you don’t want to get cramps. Starting exercise straight away and then jumping out of it won’t help. You need to give your muscles a chance to stretch and unlock.
- Giving adequate break between workouts is very important. You need your tissues which were broken down during the workout, a chance to build again. The muscle building process requires the right amount of breaks.
- Your workout efforts need to be complimented with the right amount of food, fluid, carbs and proteins. Your muscles won’t get bigger if they aren’t supplied with the right amount an type of fuel. Consuming additional calories are simply a part of muscle building.
- Your body needs to have new workouts in order to keep responding. Doing the same exercise over and over again won’t be of much help because your body will eventually get used to it and stop responding to it.
- Last, you Workout need to be consistent and confident. Hard work will pay off! Just don’t stop trying.
