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
