Tips On Improving Your Workouts!
Category: Beginners

1. Get used to the equipment. One of the first things you should do is familiarize yourself with potential equipment you want to use in your workout regime. Seeking advice from one of your experienced gym trainers on demonstrating proper positioning, lifting and breathing techniques will help you pick a starting weight.

2. Warm-up! Warm up your muscles with 5 - 10 minutes of light cardio or stretching. Make sure to involve all your body parts. Spending a few minutes warming up will help elevate your heart rate and increase your body's circulation.

3. Lift Moderate weights. When you are using a machine, lift a weight that you can perform about 10 - 12 reps each. Each lifting stroke should be performed at a pace relatively fast but not to fast to hurt your joints. Remember don't risk injury. If it hurts, STOP and lower the weight.

4. Keep track of your muscle gains with a body fat caliper. Keeping track of your fat loss and muscle gain is vital. Investing a few dollars on a good and reliable body fat caliper is well worth the money. It's always a great idea to keep track of your body's fat percentage and measurements when starting any new workout regime or new supplement. Check out our recommended Body Fat Measurement Tools.
