Perform Cardio Everyday
No matter how many different exercises you’re doing, if you’re not doing enough cardio then you’re not doing yourself any favor. The reason being, cardio exercises are the core exercises for the body. They help you in several ways.
Cardio helps you burn fat and improves the health of your organs, including you cardiovascular health. This reduces the risk of several serious diseases, including heart attacks.
When you perform cardio at least four times a week, it helps burn body fat at a rapid speed and builds muscles as well.
Speaking of cardio, running is one of the best exercises, may it be track running or running on a treadmill. You can start off your mornings by taking a healthy breakfast and start your running routine after 30 minutes.
If you are looking for quick results then we recommend to combine cardio with resistance training. You can start off by cycling on a bike along with performing overhead triceps extensions and bicep curls. However, only experts should stick to this.
Cardio helps boost your metabolism, burn fat. Moreover, it can also help you sleep better.
Energize Yourself Before A Workout
The best time to start a workout session is in the morning because that’s when you’re loaded with energy. People sure are enthusiastic towards exercising but doing so in the evening when the energy levels are low can be a bit daunting.
Go through some pre workout meal ideas and have a healthy pre workout meal as per your needs so that you can have the right amount of energy when you get to workout.
This will allow you to go the extra mile and workout even when you are exhausted.
Strength Training
Mere cardio may get you fit but won’t help you gain muscles. For that, you will have to go for strength training. It mostly involves lifting and doing intense exercises such as lifting weights, dumbbells, doing push ups, pulls up, chin ups, bench presses etc.
If you’re a newbie then you need to take it slow and keep shifting between cardio and strength training. Choose alternate days to perform both separately so that you don’t sore your muscles.
Don’t Perform Same Exercises In A Workout
Make sure to work on all body parts, and not only a few. You will see many people who have an amazing upper body or bicep, but bad legs. This is because they concentrate a lot on some parts and neglect others. Make sure you do not make the same mistake.
The rule of thumb is to mix it all up. Do a bit of everything, everyday, to maintain a body balance and help your muscles grow at the same pace.
