Beginner Fitness Program

Your Lean Routine

Anyone can easily embark on his own beginning weight program to improve over-all health, aside from the usual objectives associated with any weight training such as weight reduction, muscle building or increase in endurance. Regardless of purpose, it is important to establish a weight training plan which is suited for one's specific needs. A weight training program should be considered to achieve the targeted results in an efficient manner. In any beginner weight training program, some basic principles need to be observed in devising an effective training regimen. To begin with, workouts for beginners should always be preceded with warm-up exercises. This may be done for about ten minutes by using lighter weights or undertaking cardio exercises. Second, the actual workout should include all muscle groups. Next, the workout should be performed preferably three times per week. There should always be one day rest after every session to allow the body to recover. Lastly, it is important to realize that the desired body improvement will come out if the beginner weight training program is designed to intensify the workout by increasing the level of difficulty of exercises performed. Some ways to attain this is to use heavier weights, do more repetitions or carry out varied sets of workout exercise. In the quest for achieving a great body, resting adequately is often overlooked in the workout plan of most beginners. It is important not to forget that the human body needs sufficient time to recover from each exercise routine. Therefore, there should be a rest day after each workout session. Any beginner weight training program must always observe said principles. A beginner weight training program must consist of different selection of exercise routines which cater to differing needs of muscle groups. There are some easy exercises to begin with. For instance, the lower part of the body could make use of dead lift, leg press, lunges or squats while the upper part could make use of bicep curls. To tighten the abdomen, it could perform the twists and the abdominal crunches. Ideally, each exercise should initially start around 15 counts/reps each. As workout progresses, the count of repetitions may be increased or decreased for the desired look the beginner is seeking; whether it’s a leaner or a stockier look. Aside from increasing the repetitions which produces a leaner looking body, it is also advisable to gradually increase the weight of any equipment used such as dumbbells, barbells or free weights. To make each session enjoyable, it is also advised that fitting music be integrated in the routine. Pick up a copy of my book today to see more tips, you will be glad you did!
