Andrea’s Commit To Get Fit Workout Tips

By Andrea Warshaw Wernick –

1.) Know your body clock before beginning a new workout program. This is the most important tip. Try to work out at the time you have the most energy. If you’re a morning person, work out early in the day. The reverse works if you’re a night person: train in the afternoon or evening. Working out while you have the most energy will yield the best results.

2.) Try to do your weights workout first. Weight training should be done first, because it’s a higher intensity exercise compared to cardio. Once again, it’s best to train when you have the most energy!

3.) Cardio exercise should be the last thing you do at the gym because it helps your body recover by increasing blood flow to the muscles and flushing out lactic acid, which builds up in the muscles while you’re weight training. It’s the lactic acid that makes your muscles feel stiff and sore.

4) Workout many areas of your body, not just a few. Some people think that if they focus on one part at a time they are doing something good. But, you could overwork and strain that one side or muscle set, while preventing your results from looking great.

5.) Mix up workout routines with plenty of different exercises. You can help your body work out to its maximum potential, rather than get used to the same exercises over and over again. Also, once your muscles become acclimated to a particular set of exercises, you stop getting as much benefit from that workout.

6.) Don’t forget to stretch after! Stretching is just as important as cardio and resistance training. Your muscles will be better prepared to receive exercise when they’ve been properly stretched, plus it will help you avoid getting hurt.

7.) Make sure you drink enough water when you exercise for over 30 minutes. You should begin hydrating your body an hour before you visit the gym and continue the hydration for an hour following the workout.
