Getting into Shape without the Expense

By Ricardo d Argence

If you haven't been living under a rock, then there is no doubt that you have seen those outrageous commercials that state they have a product which will give you thirty pounds of lean muscle in three weeks. Do these products actually work? Not normally. In fact they can actually hurt your body as well as your wallet.

Rather than trusting these claims, maybe you would like to try this cost-free technique that is mentioned here in this very article. There is a certain way to do your own workout, and when you get a handle on it, and can execute it perfectly, then you will be ready to build yourself up like never before.

The first thing you need to do is look at yourself in the mirror and determine who you want to be, and what you want to look like. Do you want to be huge? Do you want to be totally ripped like a movie star? The truth is that most men would like to be somewhere in between the two. Not huge, but not small either.

Accent: Building up your muscle should be your first priority. Sure you could start a cardio program, but toning and defining your muscles doesn't make much sense without the muscle mass. What you want to do is get yourself into a routine that would be sued by someone that wants to build muscle mass. After you have completed that, you will be able to move on to the next routine.

Cardiovascular training is very important. You want to be able to stay slender, and keep your body fat at low levels. The first thing you will want to do when starting your workout is warm up with ten repetitions of the exercise you have chosen for your muscle groups.

Six to eight repetitions with four sets per exercise would be the idea number of exercises to do. You will need to make sure that you work out these parts of your body: Back and Biceps, Chest and Triceps, Legs and Shoulders.

Next you will need to do a total of three to four exercises in every muscle category. Keep in mind that when you work the chest and back, the biceps and triceps will not take quite as much work. The reason for this is that working the back works the biceps, and the chest similarly affects your triceps. Keep doing this until you build yourself a strong muscular base.

One thing that you should really do is start adding 'big lifts' into your everyday routine. This could include squats, deadlifts, bench presses, and many others. Doing this will build up your muscles rather quickly.

After the desired amount of muscle mass is achieved, switch to higher repetition (8-12) and do an increased amount of cardiovascular activity to increase muscle tone. The loss of fat is what creates muscle tone, so be sure to lose the extra body fat. Never forget the importance of building a firm nutritional base to facilitate muscle growth.

Accent on muscle mass: Similar to the start of the previous exercise campaign, you should begin with performing 6-8 reps in the same muscle group layout as listed previously. The main difference is that you will not be incorporating higher repetitions into your regiment, but you will be incorporating less repetitions into your campaign. For example, vary it up from 6-8 reps to 2-4 reps, changing what your muscles are used to, and therefore increasing your body's response.

Later you will start to increase the weights you are using. As you do, you will get closer and closer to the level of fitness that you are seeking. Your muscles will be experiencing things they never thought possible, and your muscle size will increase. At least they will as long as you follow the directions.

Make sure that you follow the instructions on these exercises to the letter. So long as you do them right, you will build the muscle mass you want. If you do no, then it is very possible that you could hurt yourself, and even worse, waste all that effort on something that will not even work. Do it right, do it with safety in mind, and soon enough you will build the muscle mass you've always wanted. - 17273
