Don't Be a Weight Watcher

2013-08-27T11:26:00.000+01:00

Many people start exercising to overcome weight problems. To them the most important result of training is seeing the number on the scales drop. Someone like this is a weight watcher. The problem with this is that your weight is not an accurate representation of how your body is changing. It is very easy to see the number on the scales drop, but not see a reduction in fat. The result of this is that you do not see any results except the change in your weight. It is important to remember that you should never be aiming to lose weight, you should be aiming to lose fat.

Training For Fat Loss

2013-08-19T13:09:00.002+01:00

When people think about training for fat loss, many think about doing extended amounts of time on treadmill or on a cross trainer. While this method of training will achieve fat loss, you will probably not be left with the figure you expect.

Resistance training is a very effective way for promoting fat loss, more so than doing steady-state periods of cardio. When performing exercises with a significant amount of resistance (bodyweight, barbells, dumbbells etc.) your heart rate spikes during these exercises. Between exercises your heart rate begins to slow, but will generally not reach resting before your next set or exercise. This ‘yoyoing’ of your heart rate means that your heart rate for the period of exercise is higher, and will remain high for a longer period of time after exercise has finished.

Lifting Straps

2013-08-12T10:08:00.000+01:00

As the weight you are lifting increases, lifting straps can really help you maximise the gains you see from an exercise. Lifting straps are generally a piece of material that wraps around your wrist and the bar or weight you are using. The way that you wrap the strap round the weight means that your grip strength is no longer the only thing holding the weight.

Recovery Days

2013-08-06T11:37:00.001+01:00

Recovery days are present in most workout plans you will see on the internet or read about in a magazine, but very few programmes will explain the importance of these days. Here is a quick summary of why rest days are so important.

Muscle Recovery- you should be putting your body through an awful lot of stress by doing your training plan, which subsequently causes micro-tears in the muscle fibres. These micro-tears need time to repair properly. If you do not have a rest day, chances are you are not allowing your muscles to fully recover.
Mental Recover- while this is not as noticeable as muscles aching, your mental strength begins to get worn down by constant training. A day of relaxing allows you to refresh your mind and prepare yourself for the next training session.

While it is called a rest day, your ‘rest’ day does not have to be spent doing nothing. You are resting from your weight training and cardio workouts. This leaves a whole wealth of activities that you can still enjoy doing if you have the desire to be active. Lots of people employ what is know as an active rest day into their training plans. Active rest means doing a light from of activity, like walking or going for a bike ride. While your body is remaining active, it is not being push anywhere near to the limits you are constantly testing during your training sessions. Active rest can aid in recovery, as the heart rate increases slightly, supplying more blood to the muscles and subsequently more nutrients. The rise in activity level also causes an increase in temperature of the muscle, making it more supple, allowing it to relax more and work out any knots in a very comfortable and relaxing way.
