Strength Training Exercises

admin — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 18:57:03 +0000

After looking at images of strength training exercises you decide to analyze your own regular routine. You have been exercising for a very long time and are not satisfied with the results. If anyone asked, you would swear that your form and technique are correct. But for every golfer looking for some improvement on his power golf game, merely giving golf balls a more accurate hit every time will get the golfer to drive the ball farther. Nor will taking more lessons do it for the avid golf player. What is required more for acquiring those powerful drives is trying to incorporate effective strength training for golf exercises that are specially developed for the sport and not just any strength training regimen in general. Nearly all of the exercises will be lifting weights, they will be your weight resistance. This said, you must be aware of risk factors involved when starting out on your strength training program. For example, if you have any diseases or problems with your heart, or even if there is any history of coronary disease in your family, you must get your doctor’s permission before you can start a strength training program that involves weight lifting. If you suffer from obesity, chronic hypertension, arthritis, diabetes, asthma always consult your doctor. Changes body shape – exercises have an impressive affect on body shape and your appearance. Consistent training helps you lose body fat by building muscle mass. With more muscle mass, your metabolism is more efficient, you burn more calories and more body fat. It results in a leaner, trimmer body shape. From a pure strength training perspective, you should solely use compound exercises to build raw strength. However, from a bodybuilding standpoint, to develop a well rounded physique, you should take advantage and make combined use of both compound-exercises and isolation exercises to stimulate the maximum amount of muscle fibers. This is kettlebell and strength training for athletes at its best! This single exercise allows you to further enhance the intensity and production of your explosive power. This single lift requires the use of a single kettlebell of moderate resistance. To execute this lift you are going to vertically pull it from either the ground or from between your legs up to a held position above your head in one smooth explosive movement. This particular exercise is as hard hitting and efficient in terms of strength training as any exercise. This single exercise can make up an entire strength training workout by itself if you wanted it to. The kettlebell swing is the base strength endurance lift that you can perform with kettlebell lifting. This exercise basically involves you swinging the bell from between your legs up to at least chest height like a pendulum. This dynamic motion integrates hundreds of your working muscles to work together in order to successfully execute this physical task. Lifting weights, dumbbells, and using resistance bands are good ways to begin a program. There are exercise machines in gyms and trainers to show you how to use it. For your convenience, some types of equipment can be purchased for at home use. Like all programs you should start slow and steadily increase the amount of resistance, as well as the time spent on exercising your muscles until your daily or weekly goal is reached. You should do a program that works on all muscle groups, 2-3 times per week, on alternate days. Work all of your muscle groups each week so that you avoid muscle imbalances, which could lead to injury. It’s important to rest 1 day in between, to give your muscle time to recover from the fatigue of the exercises.

Bodyweight Exercises VS Gym Machines: Which Are Better?

admin — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 15:12:12 +0000

When it is time to get back into shape, burn off those pounds that accumulated over vacation or build muscle for the beach, most people think about going to the gym and using gym machines. After all, when you walk into your local gym and see all the shiny equipment, it is impressive. How could you not get fit, burn fat and build muscle?
However, in my opinion, bodyweight exercises are a better choice for your fitness, fat loss and physique building needs. You not only build an attractively muscular body, but you improve real world performance with physical abilities you can use outside the gym. Plus, you can avoid those high gym fees!
Gym Machines Are Useful For A Busy Gym Business, Not Necessarily Your Fitness
While the fitness industry wants you to believe gyms are set up to help you get fit, the truth is, a gym is a business. And businesses want to make money. (And frankly, I don’t find anything wrong with that).
But what happens is, decisions are made based on how much money they can make, not how helpful they are. And using machines are a perfect fit.
Set up a series of machines and have the gym members go through the circuit like an assembly line and they will be improved at the end. Sounds great, but it is not the best way to train. . . even if it allows the gym to increase its membership.
Gym Machines Improve Your Performance In The Gym, And Do Little For REAL World Performance Improvement
When you exercise and train, your body makes changes due to the stress placed on it. It will build muscle, burn fat, improve cardiovascular function, etc. so you are better prepared for the activity in the future. But here is the thing. The improvements your body makes are specific to the activity. So, when you train on machines in the gym, your body gets better at training on machines in the gym.
In the real world you are not strapped into a machine and asked to perform reps of a movement foreign to natural movement. From a performance standpoint, bodyweight exercises are a better choice for performance improvements you can actually use. And the physical improvements are just as visible.
Bodyweight Exercise Train Your Body In The Way It Naturally Moves, Unlike Gym Machines
When you use your own bodyweight for resistance, you are training yourself to perform better in the real world. After all, exercise is about movement. . . not muscles. And when you use bodyweight exercises, you are training your body to move better.
And isn’t that really the point. Don’t you want to perform better in your daily activities as well as look better? I sure do.
When you want to get fit, burn fat and build a strong, attractive body, don’t immediately run off to the gym. Use the gym you were born with by exercising with bodyweight only movements and calisthenics. You’ll find you perform better, feel better and look better than if you used all those shiny, chrome machines. .
So, when choosing between gym or no gym. . . go gymless!
