Specific Fitness Tips For Beginners

1. Make Your Workout Worth It

If you want to get the most out of your workout, you need to remember that around 80% of the results that you get from your workout actually come from just 20% of your workout.

That means that in an hour’s session, only 12 minutes of the workout will contribute to the bulk of your results. You need to make those minutes really count. Use compound movements that work more than one muscle group at a time to really make the most of your time.

2. Remember To Eat Healthily

Any body shaping goals can only be achieved by eating a healthy diet. When you’re in the gym, it becomes easier to think that you can get away with an unhealthy diet. You can’t out-gym a bad diet so it’s especially important to keep up your healthy diet while working out.

You should make sure that you eat in moderation, and remember that if you’re burning off more calories, you will need to eat that little bit more so that you have enough energy. Balance your nutrition and avoid fad dieting.

3. Change Your Eating Habits

You need to make sure that you eat properly as well as eating healthily. Eating properly includes eating at the right times of the day. Skipping breakfast is usually a bad idea and you shouldn’t eat too late in the evening either. Speak to a nutritionist or personal trainer about what would work for you and your new regime so that you can achieve your goals.

4. Plan Out Your Routine

To make sure that you know just when you’re going to be working out and when you can look forward to some downtime, you really should come up with a plan. Remember to include rest days and be realistic about how much time you can make free.

We get overly ambitious when we start a new fitness regimen and burn out quickly from it. A plan will help you to stick to your schedule as much as possible so that you don’t slide into the habit of skipping the gym, making your targets achievable.

5. Make A 100% Commitment

Remember, decision. You need to remember that your body transformation needs dedication from you. You can’t skip a day or two here and there, because you feel as though you deserve it. Plan when your rest day will be and stick to that. Even if you have a vacation planned, check out the local gym, and make sure to take an hour out of each day to continue to work out or plan physical activities int he sight-seeing Keep up with the healthy eating as much as possible too.

6. Don’t Play the Comparison Game

It’s easy to look at women in the gym and suddenly panic if you’re trying to lose weight and develop a fit or slender figure.

If you’re dedicated and consistent, you’ll get to your version of healthy sooner rather than later; it requires a particular plan and effort. If you stick to a plan that you’ve developed or your personal trainer has given you, you won’t go wrong.

7. Keep It Simple

You should remember that you are only starting out with fitness. In order to avoid injury and to avoid putting yourself off continuing with your training, you should make sure that you familiarize yourself with the basics first.

Start off with some shorter sessions and then expand your workout as you become more confident and as your fitness, levels start to rise.

8. Prepare For Your New Routine

Make sure that you make yourself available to workout and have a rough plan of how you would like your workout to go. You need to come up with some realistic goals too, so if you want to have 6-pack abs, aim to achieve some muscle definition within 6 months or if you would like to lose 20 pounds, make sure that the timeframe that you set yourself is achievable. If you don’t know what your targets are, no personal trainer will be able to help you and that’s the recipe for failure.

9. Remember Cardio

So you want to get 6-pack abs, bulging biceps, and strong legs? You can’t get those things by just lifting weights. You must remember that while you’re working out, you should fit in a good amount of cardio.

If you’re already carrying excess weight, you need to make sure that you burn off the fat by doing frequent cardio and eventually the muscle will start to show through.

10. Use A Visual Inspiration

It is very helpful to have a visual inspiration to keep you motivated to lose weight. Try performing a Google image search to find photos of people who have a body shape and size similar to your own ideals.

Print out the image or images and display these where you will see them all the time, for example near your work desk, on your car dashboard or on the fridge. Save it as your screen on your phone and desktop. This will give you a visual goal that will stay in your sight and keep you motivated every single day!
