5 Beginner Workout Tips
By following these simple beginner workout tips you will improve the effectiveness of your weight training routine.
1. Find A Training Partner
I believe the most important thing you should do when starting a new workout routine is to find a good training partner. You are going to see faster results if somebody is there to help motivate you, correct your form and break you of any bad habits you don’t notice you had (and you for them).
2. Limit Your Workouts
You should keep your workout times to about 30 to 45 minutes a day, and your total sets at 15 to 20. What, that’s not long enough? After 30 to 45 minutes your energy and mental levels begin to drop, so going beyond that could be a waste of time and effort.
3. Track Your Progress
You should continually track your progress with a training journal. If you are truly trying to gain muscle strength than I strongly suggest you keep a workout journal in conjunction with your Progressive overload weight training. Tracking your progress will also give you more motivation.
4. Mix It Up A Little Bit
You should change your workout program every 3 to 4 weeks to avoid burn out. If your body is to be at a consent muscle building state, rotating your program is key. For example, If this is a 10 exercise program then in month one use 1 up to 10, month two use 10 down to 1, month three use 5-4-6-3-7-2-8-1-9, then start over.
5. Sleep
Sleeping is the easiest (and my favorite)way for muscle building. Yes I said sleep. when you sleep you recover and when you recover you grow. You need to reserve at least 8 hours a day (I prefer 10) for sleep. Don’t be afraid to take a nap if you find the time. Please don’t waste your efforts and potential by a simple lack of sleep.
