Choose the right exercises

The right choice of exercises is the key for an effective workout. If you cannot afford to lose time and want to get results, the best bet is to use bodyweight exercises, and mainly full body exercises. Isolation exercises on machines have to be avoided, except if you are looking an excuse for no results!

Increase the intensity of the workout

Intensity is a key but most people do not want to push themselves. They ‘re been taught it’s better to go with long sets to improve muscular endurance to get long and lean muscles. The results are a lack of strength and you are prone to injuries.

Exit also the reps and sets with baby pink dumbbells! You have to feel the tension. You have to work on fewer reps, gain strength, get lean, speed up your metabolism, and get energized. Watch right now the intensity of your exercise program.

Decrease the duration of the workout

If you think you have to train for 1 or 2 hours in the gym, I’ll make you comfortable: long workouts are usually not enough intense. If you push yourself you’re going to feel exhausted and it takes time to recover. You have to set up quality workouts, and it means short workout.

Focus on targeted exercises

Choose just a few targeted exercises and focus on them. Usually, people have too many exercises in their program and it takes too much time. Instead, take 2 or 3 full body exercises and you’ll get a total body workout. You’ll improve also your conditioning. This is the perfect way to boost an exercise program.

Focus

You have to focus your mind on what you are doing. Listen your body, feel it and learn how he’s reacting, focus on your technique, focus on your breathing, focus on the working muscles. By improving your focus, I mean total focus, you’ll improve the quality of your exercise program in a big way.

Pilates has taken over the workout world and has received so much hype because of the wonders it performs on the body. So now that you’ve decided to become a part of the whirlwind, let’s figure out what you’re going to wear. Many individuals are confused as to what types of clothing are most appropriate for Pilates. Here is a list of criteria you might want to consider when shopping for Pilates workout wear: • Comfortable Clothing - Comfort is key in Pilates. If you are not comfortable in what you are wearing you will be self-conscious and hesitant to perform some of the positions. • Clothes that are body hugging - This means clothes that enables you to breathe and move, but not so loose that when you move around you are afraid of your shirt lifting or your tummy showing. • Light and Airy Clothing - You do not want to show up to a Pilates class wearing huge track pants that weigh about as much as you do. You want your clothes to breathe. You are going to work up a sweat and therefore you want the lightest clothing possible. • Stay Away from the Extras - Extra detailing, such as buttons and zippers, can cause discomfort during your workout and become painful if they are jammed into you when performing certain poses. • Respect Your Classmates - Be respectful to others in the class and refrain from wearing any clothing which advertises sex, drugs,...
