VERY USEFUL TIPS FOR YOUNGSTERS JOINING GYM - by JAGADISH SHINDE
Motto of my blog - to help all my young friends to develop good muscles using proper techniques and through very very less hard work.
I am working out in gymnasium since last eight years. Looking at my photographs, you might be wondering that i may be working out for about atleast an hour everyday. That i might have developed such a great body after intake of many supplements, drugs. But wait, dont rush your thoughts. Your apprehensions may be wrong. The fact is that i work out exactly for 30 minutes everyday and mind you that also includes stretching and cardio. I never stay in the gym one minute more than 30 minutes everyday. Also, i have never resorted to any kind of supplements till now and i am a vegetarian by birth. I have seen many youngsters giving up working out for the simple reason that they fail to gain muscles quickly. Some even stop coming to the gym after working out for 2-3 days. The point here which i want to stress is that the motivation and inspiration in the youngsters is very short lived. They see some inspirational video or a scene in a movie of some hero who has got a great body and decide on the spot that they too will join the gym to build muscles like the hero in the movie they have recently seen. But this motivation remains for only 2-3 days and it vanishes suddenly. I have, through experience, found out the following reasons for youngsters dropping out of the gymnasium so early
(a) Too much enthusiasm only in the beginning boys, please have a control on your enthusiasm. Dont work out for hours from the first day. If you do so, its a proven fact that you will stop coming to the gym very soon with exhaustion. The point is that you have to fine tune your body first. If you work out more for the very first day you will feel tired and you wont feel like coming to the gym the next day. So, keep some of your enthusiasm saved for the next day. Start by working out only 10-15 minutes on day one. Doing so, you will feel refreshed and also you will automatically feel enthused to come to the gym on the next day. Slowly and very steady increase your workouts in the gym. But remember one thing, never work out for more than 45 minutes anytime
(b) Dont listen to what others say I have seen many boys stopping to work out because of lack of motivation. And this motivation dies the day some of your colleagues criticize you. Your friends may suddenly say without giving any thoughts 'boy you are working out since last one month, and you have made no progress at all'. Such criticisms from your friends suddenly make your morale down and you become devastated. Working out thereafter becomes a headache for you. You too will start thinking what your friend has said. So please stop listening to others. Its a naked fact that they are jealous of you and the main intention of thier criticism is that they want you to stop exercising. Instead, be focused on your own progress. Avoid such criticisms by saying inwardly that such silly remarks were made by your friends because of feeling of jealously in their minds.
(c) Concentrate on proper posture during workouts instead of increasing weights - while its true that the size of your muscles increases as you increase the weight during exercising, but i would suggest you to lift very light weights in the beginning. Its very important for you in the beginning to concentrate more on proper posture than on increasing your weights. I am telling you this because there is higher risk of injury to your muscles in the beginning stage if you lift more heavy weights.
(d) Stretch during and after workout - This is the most important thing which almost everyone ignores. If you avoid stretching, there are more chances of injury and you may not lift your weights as per your potential. Do stretch 5 minutes before and after workout. Stretching your back is very important since its the most affected part during workouts. Include front and back bending exercises to strengthen your spine
(e) Warm up by stretching or by running Dont start lifting weights before warming up or stretching your body. Do light running for about 2-3 minutes to warm up your body. Doing this, will enable to workout with more enthusiasm
(f) Take carbs and proteins 30 minutes before and after workout - have a light intake of carbs and protiens or carbs because you need the power to lift weights and 30 minutes after finishing workout because your muscle need repair since they get damaged after workout.
(g) Stick to the most basic exercises in the beginning. Include 50% of the free hand exercises in your regimen during your starting days.
