Weight Training Routines

If you are just starting out weight training or are getting back into it after a long delay then you will find this article on weight training routines very helpful. It is important to remember that your body will take several weeks before you can increase the workload. You will be sore and you will need to adequately rest after you start this weight training routine. The worst thing you can do is to overwork your body and possibly injure yourself.

This weight training routine is designed to workout your entire body in the shortest time possible limiting the risk of injury to your both your muscles and the supporting tendons. It is necessary to do this workout for at least one month before you decide to add any exercises or increase the time spent at the gym.

Limit your time in the gym

The goal of this weight training routine is to limit the amount of time you spend in the gym. There is no reason to spend two hours training what should take you ½ an hour to complete. Limit your rest in between sets and save the socializing to after the workout. By increasing the speed and efficiency of your workout you are increasing the anabolic response your body will naturally produce. So keep your workouts to ½ hour or less.

Warm Up

Before starting your weight training routine be sure to properly warm up your body and your muscles first. If you don’t properly warm up first you will risk injury and the effectiveness of your workout. If your muscles are not warm they are not getting the needed blood flow to each fiber.

This means that the necessary nutrients and oxygen are not present and cannot help you get the most out of your workout. Spend ten minutes on an exercise bike or on the elliptical trainer to get at least a marginal sweat going. Once you have warmed up then you can begin with the workout.

Focus Your Mind

I included this as a necessary part of you workout training program because the importance of the right frame of mind cannot be overstated  If your mind is on other things then your workout will suffer. You must focus on the task at hand and limit your thoughts to increasing your muscle mass and performing the exercises perfectly.

Concentrate on each muscle you are working out and picture each muscle growing as you are doing the exercise. There is power in thoughts and given the right thoughts your muscles will grow beyond what you thought possible. By concentrating on the muscle being work you will also learn to primarily use that muscle and it will help you to perform the exercise perfectly.

Believe in the power of your mind. It works!
