Although, people are religious
about hitting the gym or getting their weekly dose of exercise,
changing your routine is how to boost weight loss or uncover
more lean mass. Use the following strategies based on the principles
of FITT.
Frequency
The body requires exercise for overall maintenance (twice a
week). For the novice exerciser, threes times is recommended.
For the athletic enthusiast, five to six times a week is ideal.
Change your work-out schedule.
If your exercise plan is in the morning hours, then try working
out during the evening.
Intensity
The intensity of your exercise is contingent up the frequency
of your training. For instance, for the person who works out
only two or three times a week, then the work-out intensity
should be heightened to four or five days. For people who work
out five or more times a week, a varied regimen is required
to preclude exhaustion or boredom.
Timing
The time span of a workout should be based on the type of exercise.
Weight training can be done in a little over an hour. To complete
the session in an hour, increase the recovery time between sets.
Types of exercise
During the beginning stages
of a work-out regimen, it is important to work a wide range
of muscles. As a result, training should be comprised of an
array of physical movements. The variation of exercises is necessary
for the entire body to prevent muscles from atrophying. Fitness
programs based on a four to six day regimen can focus on different
body parts on other days to rest muscles between sessions.
Switching up an exercise regimen
monthly to bi-monthly is the formula for fitness results. It
keeps the body challenged and using different muscles. It offers
a mental advantage to the brain while it keeps exercise fun
and exciting.
