Are Your Gym Sessions Producing The Desired Outcomes?

Question:

"I have been attending the fitness centre for a long time now. I in fact want to get ripped and develop my pecs and biceps, but don't feel like I am making any significant developments, even though I put in a lot of effort whilst I am at the gym.  Can you recommend any specific routines that will assist me?"

Answer:

Shortly after qualifying as a Personal Trainer I worked in a health club. I worked there for a couple of years and recognised the same faces everyday. What surprised me the most was how rarely individuals in reality seemed to have bettered their body size and health in that 2-year timeframe! I would go as far as to state that 90% or more of the people who exercised religiously in the gymnasium not at any time made any significant improvements in their shape, body composition or fitness!

Let me tell you at this moment that the purpose of endurance fitness isn't just to use up extra calories. Weight training exercise isn't only about building lean tissue. If you want to see decent advancements then you need to think about how your choice of exercises are going to Adapt your body.

Did you know that using the suitable kinds of cv exercise you can transform your body to use up surplus fat mass when you are not working out? Your body literally adapts into a fats burning machine! On top of that, your weight training should change if you are hoping to build lean mass, become stronger or become more commanding. The programme needs to be adapted because the goal is different. What's more the body transforms in different ways to different exercise methods.

The kicker is, there are recognised work-out approaches that need to be included into any exercise program. Without going into vast amounts of detail, the 6 principles are: individual goals, progressive overload, specificity, rest and recovery, the FITT principle (frequency, intensity, time and type) and reversibility.

I don't insist you to know each thing there is to know about every one of them, but trained Personal Trainers will know how to link them into a training regime. If you don't know how to structure exercise regimes using these principles in mind then your working out is not likely to be sufficient.

Take 'progressive overload' and 'reversibility' as examples. Most people go into the gym and do the same program year in day out. But this will not modify improvements in the body. Worse still, it won't even allow you to sustain you existing level of fitness levels because your body will become used to the programme and your fitness will begin to drop!

I am not declaring that everyone reviewing this post needs to work with a Personal Trainer, but there is an element of education needed to structure an effective training routine.
