Here are some tips for the next time you’re at the gym:
- Wear comfortable gym attire. Work-out attire should allow you to move freely. Consider fabrics that breath and keep you cool
- Give yourself enough time. There are three parts to a workout: warm-up (5-10 minutes); workout/exercise (15-20 minutes); cool down (5-10 minutes).
- Set realistic goals. Establish training goals or what I like to call action steps that are specific and appropriate for your fitness level.
- Concentrate on your own program. This is time for you; concentrate on yourself and do what you need to do to achieve what you want to achieve.
- Drink water. Keep hydrated. Dehydration can lead to fatigue, muscle weakness, and dizziness
- Plan a balanced strength-training program. A training program trains all major muscle groups. Exercises need to be executed through a full range of motion. It is recommended that you seek the advice of a professional trainer to ensure that you are performing your exercises correctly
- Use the proper form. Bad form leads to injury (periodic supervision by a professional trainer is recommended
- Progress wisely. Exercising too hard/often may lead to drop out and/or injury. Gradual, steady progression is important (supervision by a professional trainer is recommended
- Add variety to your workout. Change-up your workout routine. Keeping the same workout can lead to boredom, plateaus, and/or injury
- Adjust machines to your body size. Exercise equipment is designed to accommodate different body types. Adjust machines to your size; this practice will prevent injury.
- Cool down after your workout. At the end of your workout, cool down with stretching exercises. This practice will lower your heart rate and improve your flexibility
- Practice gym etiquette. Do unto others… move away from the machine after you are finished; wipe your sweat from machines; be cordial
- Avoid the all-or-nothing approach. A little exercise is better than no exercise at all – if you do not have time for one hour…a half- hour workout session is better than no session at all.
- Train with a professional trainer. A one-on-one trainer will design a challenging program tailored to your needs. A trainer will take time to evaluate your fitness level, track your progress, ensure that you are performing the exercises correctly… and a trainer will give you that extra push
Haha now I want to go to the gym :P
