Every year, millions of people put off adopting a fitness routine because they believe they don’t have what it takes to succeed. At the same time, millions of other people are discovering that anyone is capable of becoming more physically fit. There are also simple lifestyle changes one can easily make that will help yo achieve a better level of fitness.
Find an exercise plan that you can stick to. If you choose something you enjoy, you’ll be excited to work out.
If you’d like to improve your muscle mass, then you should do less reps, but lift a greater amount of weight. Start with a specific muscle group of your choice, such as your chest. Do a warm-up set by lifting weights that are easy to lift. A weight that allows you to perform 15 to 20 repetitions is about right. When you move to your next set, choose a weight level at which you are able to do no more than 6-8 repetitions. Add on another five pounds, then complete a third repetition.
If you are looking to strengthen your legs, try wall sits. Start by selecting an area of empty wall space that will accommodate your body in motion. Maintain a distance of a foot and a half, turned away from the wall. With your knees bent, lean back till your back is flat against the wall. Keep bending your knees to the point that your thighs appear parallel with the ground in a sitting position. You will want to stay like this for as much time as you can.
Take on any exercises you don’t like head on. It is probable that the reason you do not like the exercise is because you are not good at it. Add those difficult exercises to your regular routine and work hard to overcome them.
Achieving your fitness goals is worth the work you put in. When you get fitter, you will look better and help your health and overall well-being too. When you are fit, you’ll be better able to face the day’s challenges and approach life with true passion.
