- Always warm up with about 5 to 10 minutes of cardio before you work out.
- The best time for stretching is after you’ve warmed up; your muscles should be warm and more pliable.
- Never hold your breath while your weight training. Exhale during the exertion phase of the rep.
- Always use proper form. NEVER sacrifice your form to either finish a set or lift heavier weight.
- Use controlled movements while weight training. Avoid bouncy or jerky movements.
- Never lock your elbows or knees, always use a good range of motion.
- Choose a weight you can lift for the number of reps you plan to perform (usually 10 or more). As you become stronger you should adjust the weight so that you can only complete the desired number of reps.
- Doing 20 to 45 minutes of cardio AFTER your workout will promote fat loss.
- For the best results train at least 3 times a week. But be careful not to over train…listen to your body!
- Don’t train the same body part 2 days in a row.
- WATER, WATER, and more WATER! Drink half your body weight in ounces of water! (Ex: If you weight 140 lbs, then you should drink 70 ounces of water per day!) If you DO NOT drink water, you will be defeating the whole purpose of trying to work out and be healthy! Your body NEEDS water to function correctly. And water also helps flush fat out of your system!
