Sustainable Workout Plan
Having an sustainable workout program is extremely important towards achieving your fitness goals you can’t just have a goal and expect to achieve it if you don’t have a clear and detail plan. without a plan you are probably wasting your time and effort here is what we need to know that there is not a one plan solution that can fit all. That’s because we all are different so creating an exercise program varies and is based on your age, goal fitness level, lifestyle.
More even with “n” number of of workout videos out there is still need to have a knowledge of knowing why you are doing this workout rather than just following it so what I will be sharing you with today is simple Foundation to start a simple yet sustainable workout plan it might sound doubting but once you know the basics and build from there it isn’t difficult in fact it is a lot of fun I am going to try to keep it very simple and break it down into five steps so let’s have a look.
1) Consistency
- Consistency is that top factor that will get your results you have to train frequently across a long period of time so let’s get it right from the beginning this is a long term commitment which means discipline there is no shortcut in getting the result hence the How many a day I can dedicate to exercising?
- How long can each work out session be?
- What time of the days suits my schedule?
- Grab a pen and paper and write it down for instance I like to workout five days in a week and have two rest days my workout days will be Monday Tuesday Thursday Friday and Saturday my rest is will be Wednesday and Sunday for each session it will be and hour long and I will like to get it done first thing in the morning before I start my day this is specific and realistic because we want this to be a doable plan not something which you will be give yourself excuses down the road if you can dedicate yourself one per day that great.
2) Variety
- The next part to figure out is what workout should I do there are so many workout videos, but you have no ideas where to start and what to do for beginners it’s important to know that you have to perform total body workout, focusing on all major muscles in order to burn fat and increase the lean muscle mass. I will said this too many times but allow me to say it once more we cannot spot reduce fat typically there are two types of training one is strength training and secondary cardio of course there are workouts which come bind both such as HIIT, interval and circuit training this types of training are the most way to burn fat and turn up a short period of time.
- let’s look at the difference between strength versus cardio weightlifting or exercising will improving your strength and to build muscle strength training is important because the modelling have the higher your metabolic rate will be that means your body will be burning fat more efficiently when you are at rest here as some examples push ups, squats etc.
- Cardio
- Cardio are exercises that are intense enough to increase your breathing and heart rate at continuous and consistent pace cardio exercises are important to build stamina to burn calories and access fat from the bodies.
3) Volume
- The third factor is to figure out your workout volume how many wraps and sets to do how heavy to lift and how long to rest in between exercises this are mainly for strength training let’s get the basic understanding of set and the reps
- set refer to repeating the same exercise for a certain number of rounds for a instance performing tense squats in one set and for the two more sets and the rest between sets for absolute beginners I with suggest that you would start with two sets and increasing it with three or four sets.
- Repetition or reps the first to the number of times super form an exercise during a set so for a instance so it can be a 10 reps of squats how many reps you should perform depends on your fitness level and your goal.
4)Progression
- When you have a solid workout program and you are consistent with it next important factor is progression to keep improving and seeing results your workout need to get harder overtime you can’t just take the beginner workout doing for past 2 months and you would wonder why not seeing results if you felt progress in your training that’s when you will hit a plateau.
- Do not make things harder to quickly I do understand that some of us can get really impatient and want to lift heavier in the next few session it take’s time to build strength and endurance so progress slowly and gradually this way you will still create the change without the risk of injuries which may cause you to miss more training days.
