Would You Like To Get Back In Shape?

If you have taken a hiatus from your fitness program it is challenging to get motivated to start back into your training routine once more. What you will need to do is make some practical achievable "written"resolutions to help motivate you.

The reason I have emphasized "written" is simply because if you don't jot your goals in a notebook your resolutions are only dreams. Studies have established over and over that writing your goals on paper is very powerful.

Let us look at a few sample situations. If you need to get back into jogging, walk first. Depending on your degree of usual fitness you can only begin with only fifteen or twenty minutes. If you already have a certain level of fitness start with a half hour and slowly but surely intensify it.

Once you have been walking for a few weeks you can ease back into jogging by rotating walking and running. Walk for just ten minutes and run for five minutes and so on. As you become stronger and your discomfort subsides you should increase the running until you get back to running for thirty to forty five minutes at a time.

If you have done weight training in the past and have taken a time-out of more than a couple of months it would be a good idea to slowly ease back into it.

When you are weight training, if you push yourself too fast too soon you may end up hurting your muscle's supporting tendons and ligaments. The main thing is definitely not to hurry in attempting to try to do the same routine that you were doing but doing less sets.

What I try following a long layoff is to go to the health club and use the stationary bicycle for 15-2o minutes to begin with for a warm-up. Subsequently, I will choose only a single paticular body part each day day to work out. If you are an elderly individual or you have a large frame you may possibly want to continue this kind of program even following your initial break-in period.

Let's take a look at training the upper body for instance. If I were bench pressing 300 pounds prior to my layoff I will begin my first training session with 135 pounds and do 3 or 4 sets of high reps in the 15-20 range. Fine-tune your weights to match your preferences. After that I will do 3 sets of flat dumbbell flyes yet again with more reps this time so as not to place too much pressure on my tendons and ligaments.

Keep to these same rules for all body parts and you should increase the weights and repetitions little by little and inside a month you'll be right back to hard training once more and working towards your goals - reducing your body fat and learning how to get a six pack.
