Hi guys! I'd like to start off this post by saying I am NOT AT ALL an expert on working out, but I've learned some tips over the last 2 years that helped me A LOT in the gym. Because of my career, I've been
trying to become someone who lives a much healthier lifestyle, and that includes trying to become someone who works out very frequently. I'm not exactly there yet, but I'm slowly getting there - and I've learned some really valuable tips along the way that I thought I would share. Maybe it'll help anyone else out there trying to become more
serious with their fitness!
After getting a trainer, I really began to
"get it", if you will. So the majority of my tips are from my time working out with her, but also what I learned from my friends who work out DAILY and from numerous fitness blogs and such. These tips are probably going to sound super
simple and not at all specific, but that's because they're for people like me; beginners who need that push to help get them in the right direction and make their transition into serious fitness that much easier! Here goes...
1. BE CONSISTENT
This is the tip I'm still struggling with, I'm not consistent at all. But truly it's the most important. I know for my body, if I haven't worked out for even 2 days, I start to see it regress backwards. Your muscles need consistency to see continuous change and progress! In other words, you can't half-ass it. You can't workout once a week and expect to see massive differences, it's a lifestyle. That being said though, everyone works at their own pace, so maybe one workout a week is where you start.
But just remember it's about making it a lifestyle and making your health a priority. If you want to see progress, most people incorporate AT THE LEAST 2-3 workouts a week!
