Beginners Fitness - Beginner Weight Workouts

There are a few kinds of workout plans and in this article I would like to tell any beginners exactly how to do a weight workout. Weight workouts are very important to do in your fitness routine so that you can get stronger and more flexible. Also doing weight workouts increase your self image and helps with almost any other sports that you do. The other thing that weightlifting will do for you is to improve your coordination and your mental toughness when doing sports.

So the first thing that you need to know when you get started working out is that you need to work every muscle group the muscles and muscle groups are as follows:

Chest - Pectoral muscles. These muscles are worked by doing bench press and flyes
Back - Also known as lats. This muscle group is worked using pulldowns and seated rows
Shoulders - Called deltoids. These are worked with overhead presses, front, side, and rear laterals
Upper Arms - Biceps and Tricep muscles. These muscles are worked by doing curls for the biceps and tricep extensions for the triceps
Front of legs - Quadriceps are worked by doing squats
Backs of legs - Hamstrings are worked best with leg curls which are done while lying on your stomach.

The best way to get started doing a beginning weight workout is to do a light workout and do three sets for each of these all in one workout. It is best to journal the exercises and weights that you do so that you can see your progress and get a good feel for what you should be doing to get stronger.

The best way to style your workout is to first start with just 5 minutes or so of cardio and then once you are warmed up you can do some stretching and then work in a cycle doing one set of each of the exercises above all in a row and then take a rest. Do three of these cycles and you are done. Before I leave the gym I like to have a nice long stretching session for 10 minutes or so to make sure that my muscles are nice and loose and ready to recover before my next workout
