Recommendations for muscle gaining-

Okay let’s start by giving you tip number 1

1: Okay you should have already decided on your goals. So if your main objective is to lose weight do more weight loss exercises like cycling and swimming do these weight loss activities for preferably 3 to 5 times a week with at least 30 minutes with proper warm up and cool down before and after these activities. But if you’re looking to bulk up your body do more muscle training exercises like dumbbell raises and bench presses and do less weight loss exercises.

2. Be realistic! Let’s say your daily routine is waking up at 10am don’t plan your routines at 6am. Give your body time to adapt to your change of lifestyle. If you force yourself to the workouts you will probably give up before getting really good results.

3. When you go out to exercise it’ll be good to bring a notepad. In it you can write your routine so that when you leave your house you will know what to do. You can also look at your status for the week like how many times you have worked out in a week and the exercises you did.

4. You might be bored after a while doing your weekly routines. So, get a buddy to train with you this is always a good option as you will be motivated and usually you will end up working out more due as you will have more fun and would not care for time so much.

5. If you have the budget, consulting a fitness doctor is one of the best things you could use your money for.  The personal trainer can recommend you more exercises and more effective one’s as well this can make your workout times more efficient and effective. This is really good if you are seriously lacking of time.

Summary: Get a notepad, pen and start planning for the next week. Remember that warm up’s and cool downs are very important for your daily routines. Good Luck!
