]]>We all lead busy lives and it’s sometimes difficult to find enough time for a workout, but that doesn’t mean you should lose sleep over it. Instead of hitting the gym tired every day, reduce the number of your workout days and only go when you’re properly rested.
Many people find warm-ups extremely boring and prefer skipping them all together. This is one of the worst workout habits because it can lead to injuries and soreness since your body isn’t ready for demanding workout without proper preparation.
Hitting the gym hungry is one of the worst choices you could possibly make. Make sure to eat at least two to three hours before your workout because lack of nutrition can do you more harm than good, especially in the long run.

]]>People usually feel very self-conscious when they step inside a gym for the first time. The fact is that nobody will actually notice any of your mistakes, as they’re all focused on their own workouts. So relax, and enjoy the ride.
It’s a common beginner’s mistake to overwork yourself at the very start of your fitness journey, thinking that you’ll make progress faster. This can only lead to exhaustion or even worse, injury, so try not to make this mistake.
Losing weight, gaining strength, or any other goal you might have are not going to be reached overnight. People often don’t realize that this is a long-term process that requires dedication and that’s why they usually end up quitting.

There is a common stereotype that gym goers tend to flex their muscles after every session to assess how good they look. It’s wrong and unnecessary because that’s not how the gym works. You don’t exercise for a few hours and lose your weight.
Start by setting goals. Plan to lose ten pounds after a week. Develop a routine to achieve those goals and work toward achieving them.
Don’t fall for any gimmicks that trick you to pay for tips to gain abs or lose weight with the least amount of work. The most effective gym classes are all hard. You have to do sit-ups, run, hit the mill or do Yoga. None of the exercising techniques can be achieved by just sitting around.
Who said you must attend a physical location and pay a hefty fee to exercise? The right clothes and shoes are all you need to start your exercising routine. Running is one of the most effective gyms, and so is biking or holding a home-gym session.

]]>There’s one question that millions of people have asked but have never received a clear answer to: how much rest do you actually need in between strength workouts?
Self-proclaimed fitness experts will tell you different things, but something that almost everyone agrees on is the fact that rest between workouts is a must, especially when they’re heavy strength routines.
“Recovery is one of the most important aspects of a successful training regimen, but for some reason, it’s commonly overlooked,” John Gallucci, Jr., D.P.T., president of a physical therapy company, shared. “Especially after intense or prolonged training, your body needs time to repair tissues that have broken down.”
What causes much of the confusion regarding the importance of rest are some commonly shared myths like “rest causes strength loss and defeats progress” or that “rest is a waste of time”.

The reason rest is so vital is that the body actually undergoes a lot of stress during strength workouts.
Muscles develop what are called micro-tears and need to restore and rebuild the damaged muscle fibers with special cells and protein. When all is said and done, the muscle actually ends up growing in size and strength.
“During the recovery process, blood carries the nutrients needed to repair these muscles, and rest allows the fibers to heal stronger than they were before the physical activity,” explained Gallucci.

“Recovery time will vary depending on how your workouts are split up,” Jen Jewell, a certified personal trainer, commented.
She says that if you’re splitting muscle groups into individual days, you can train up to 5-6 days in a row before needing to rest since you’re giving each muscle group a break after each workout anyways.
On the contrary, if you’re doing all upper body muscles one day and all lower body muscles on another day, then Jewell says you need at least 1-2 rest days before repeating the same workout.
Jewell stresses common sense in determining how much rest you need between workouts.
“You have to remember to listen to your body,” Jewell says. “If your calendar says it’s time to train lower body again and you’re still having a hard time walking up and down a flight of stairs, wait an extra day before working your lower body again.
