The No-Frills Fast Results Now 45 Minute Workout Pt1

If you have decided to enter into a long term workout program, you need to plan for maximum fast results now. It is important to achieve results rather than simply flailing away for little gain. In this guide, you will learn to workout correctly, get maximum results, and waste less time at the gym. The first step is, of course, free weights. If you don't have any, join a gym or buy some. Gyms are best due to the monthly fee. You are more likely to workout when you are trying to get your money's worth, after all. Once you have access to all the free weights and equipment you will need, you're all set to start getting results.

First, plan your workout ahead of time. Knowing your schedule ahead of time is the key, and you should never deviate from the path you set forth. The schedule set down in this article is very similar to what professional bodybuilders use, and weight can be scaled down or up as desired. Remember, you bulk up from lifting more weight. To gain more muscle mass you need to add weight and reduce reps, to trim up you need to reduce weight and increase reps. This guide assumes that you have already decided what path to take and doesn't offer any advice on the point of mass over definition. The number of reps and the amount of weight is up to the reader to determine from their weight and strength level.

Starting out: When you first begin working out, it is imperative that you go slow and take it easy. Getting carried away and hurting yourself will only delay results. When you first arrive at the gym every day, you should take the time to stretch and warm up. These two activities are as critical to working out as the act of working out itself. Begin by stretching each limb or body part to the point where it is mildly painful and hold it for at least ten seconds. Do this two or three times for each body part that you can manage to stretch and repeat this stretching procedure between sets throughout your workout. Stretching is a very critical step that we will discuss in more detail later on in the series. Warm up simply by riding a stationary bike that has moving handlebars. If the bars don't move, simulate the motion that your arms make when you are running or jogging. It's important to warm up the whole body for about ten minutes or so before working out, longer is always better.

During your first three weeks of working out, you should work out only three days a week, and do a full body workout each day. The workout should consist of a wide variety of exercises for the entire body, such as chest, legs, arms and abs using very low weight. It is important at this stage that you train your muscles to perform these actions correctly, as later on you will be lifting heavy weight and you need to be certain you do it right. Any gym will have diagrams of correct form, follow them to the letter and you will decrease your chances of injury.

Keep to this low weight rule for a few weeks, focusing on performing the exercises correctly and alternately working every muscle group, until you feel comfortable enough to begin raising weight. After the three weeks, you should be seeing some results. Nothing major, but your body should already be reshaping itself to your change in lifestyle. It is at this point that your body is most receptive to the efforts of your workout, because you have trained it to train perfectly. Only at this point are you ready to begin a serious workout schedule.
