Get In Shape For The Summer!

TIP 1 DGET IN SHAPE FOR THE SUMMER!

Now is the time to start your summer training regime,

Here is a simple Gym plan to get you started.

 1. WARM UP – The best machine is the cross-trainer because you will use more muscle groups then on any other machine, so you only need to push yourself to around 50 or 60% (effort level) in warm up mode.

 2. WHAT TO DO FIRST – WEIGHTS OR CARDIO ?

For stamina & endurance, do cardio first.

For strength & power, do weights first.

3. WHAT IS THE BEST CARDIO MACHINE ?

Scientific tests have shown the fastest calorie burners, in the following order, for the average person working at an average pace to burn 400 calories.

1. Treadmill                  28mins

2. Cross-trainer             32mins

3. Rowing Machine      42mins

4. Bike                          54mins

4. WEIGHTS – HOW MANY REPS’ & WHY ?

For Strength – 3 sets of 4-8 reps’ at 90% of your maximum lift.

For muscle growth – 3 sets of 10-12 reps’ at 75% of your maximum lift.

For tone & endurance – 3 sets of 15-18 reps’ at 60% of your maximum lift.

HOPEFULLY I HAVE SOLVED A FEW PROBLEMS, GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR NEW TRAINING ROUTINE!
