Getting That Great Body Part 2
Most people start working out with the 'looking good' goal.
People that start out with this goal are always in a hurry to see results and get depressed and dissuaded when they do not see the results they expect.
I have seen people turn to using steroids and other chemicals to achieve results.
Using steroids is highly dangerous when used without proper consultation.
They have side effects such as prostate cancer.
Using a manual is not enough if you are a first time user.
Each drug that you use side effects that needs to be counteracted by other drugs.
If you take too many drugs at the same time you will start losing liver function.
You do not need to use steroids and drugs to achieve results like those you see on the big screen.
The key to this is patience and determination.
I saw poster in a gym once that said 'No pain, No Gain'.
This very aptly summed up the gist of working out.
This does not mean you need to start pumping heavy weights in the first week.
You need to start out slowly and gauge how much your body can take.
Overdoing it will only tire you out and make you ill.
Start with a fitness routine.
Something like running or jogging followed by more cardio exercises like skipping or cycling.
Doing cardio will condition your body to exercise and you will gain muscle faster later.
Cardio will also increase your stamina and improve your breathing, both of which are important when you are lifting weights.
Cardio is also a great way to burn fat.
You will notice how thin long distance runners are.
This is because of the running they do which is basically cardio exercise.
One trick I learned while I was working out was that you should do all your weight lifting exercising before you do your cardio.
This is a great way to burn fat.
The weight lifting session consumes all the energy stored in your liver.
Your body then starts burning fat.
Doing cardio after the weights means you will burn fat faster.
Once you have burnt away the fat, the muscles will become more visible.
Each person has different problem areas that take time to develop.
For example, some people's abs develops really quickly while some need to work really hard to bet a toned stomach.
Always carry a re hydrating drink with you when you work out to replenish the salts and minerals your body is losing through sweat.
