Avatar m tn Learn to increase resistance properly. Focus on reps before weight. If a set calls for eight reps, any weight where you can do six to 10 reps is the right amount. If you can do more, increase the weight; if you can't do six, drop back. Write down what you eat.
Avatar f tn If using weights what I was told when I used a personal trainer that if you are upping 15-20 reps without straining they are too light. Make sure to do three reps as well. They are also many exercises you can do without even touching weights or resistance bands! Good luck, you got this! You can always pm me to talk more.

Avatar n tn My weights are not as heavy as before but that is because of I am more focused on cardio now.
Avatar f tn My strength training is 3x per week and my routine is 1 rep at the maximum weight with perfect form then 12 reps. at a lighter weight then 25 reps. lighter. this is done on machines so the only rest is when I place the pin in the next weight class. I then rest for 90 seconds and repeat this 2 more times. As for the cardio I use a heart rate monitor.
Avatar m tn Maybe something like 1-arms, 2-legs, 3-chest/back, 4- shoulders- 5- run, then repeat. I do 3-4 sets of 10-12 reps, also doing a little abs everyday. Any suggestions/advice/constructive criticism would be much appreciated. I wanna be as muscular as possible but mainly tone/cut. I would like something I can continue for life. I eat pretty healthy/take protein powder 1-2 times a day already.
378273 tn?1262097621 Why not start taking take your blood pressure at different intervals, such as immediately prior to exercise, in the middle of a workout, immediately after a workout and an hour after a workout. Keep the results in a log. Then you will be able to better identify the effect of exercise on your blood pressure. Good luck.
Avatar f tn Do this pattern 4-8 times, also I like to add pushup and russians so as to keep it a rounded workout. This routine helps to increase stamina, core strength, metabolism, and cardiovascular health. Of course this won't privide immediate results but you should start to notice abs in 2-3 weeks(as long as this is done 3-4 times a week). Remember the longer you do a workout the more your body adapts to it, so remember to slowly increase the intensity or number of reps. Good luck!
Avatar f tn Two studies have shown why you don't need to stretch. One study done by The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research stated "If you stretch before you lift weights, you may find yourself feeling weaker and wobblier than you expect during your workout" The second study published in The Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports says that exercise stretching is generally unnecessary and likely counterproductive.

Avatar m tn Target two or three muscle groups during each workout session. For example, a workout to tone the body might target leg muscles one day, chest and back muscles on a separate day and arm and shoulder muscles on a third day. Perform two or three exercises for each muscle group. Start with bodyweight exercises, such as situps, pushups and pullups. Then progress to basic weightlifting exercises, such as bench presses, lat pulldowns and squats.
Avatar f tn Warm up on an eliptical machine for 5 min, then 20 reps of leg press, 2 min back on the machine, then 20 reps for whatev, back on the machine for 2min etc; We do something for quads, lats, biceps, triceps, flys, bench press, shoulders, pretty much every muscle group. We end with abs. The trainer I used wed (its a husband /wife team that trade off depending on the time of day) gave me my favorite tip so far...
Avatar f tn Good job on the workout! In the days after your workout you'll experience two different kinds of muscle soreness. Within the first 24 hours of your workout, you might be kind of sore. This is normal--your workout created little tears in your muscles and they need to repair. This is when you rest. You can still go to the gym, as long as you don't exercise those muscles that you focused on yesterday. 24-48 hours after your workout, Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness will set in.
Business woman1 I advise my patients with similar complaints to start low intensity muscle toning (reps using 15-20 lbs 3 days a week) and upper body aerobic exercise 1-2x weekly (ie swimming, eliptical). Hiring a personal trainer may also give you the structure and guidance that will help you achieve your goal but without sustaining an injury. But the results can be slow (ie 3-6 months) Hope this helps!
Avatar n tn I am now 27 weeks and have had to back off a little, I get breathless easier and I have taken out so much high intensity but I still workout for 2 hours a time, burning aprox 1000 calories or so. I do light weights, high reps and heavy cardio. I hydrate A LOT. That is where you will get dizzy and overheat which is also not good for baby.
Avatar f tn Thank you Jasminelove. I guess I just need to take it a little easier even though mentally it's a little tough to do so. I love the feeling of exhaustion after a good workout and I just can't wait for my babies to get here so I can start to workout like I did before. Good luck to you and thanks for your input!
Avatar f tn (full body, and bodyweight burns more calories because you are using more muscles. you want to choose 10 exercises to workout with for the workout and keep the reps around 12-15. As for diet, i am not a nutritionist but something you can do is make healthier substitutes for things like cookies. you could just try any diet while you are on this exercise program and will lose around one pound a week.
897494 tn?1267476064 rest, then I move on to more weights, and leg press, then to the treadmill for another 20 min interval cardio workout, using the same time routine as the eliptical workout. Is this going to get me where I want to be, I need to loose 20 lbs, and I am 28 yrs old, I have the nutrition part of it down for the most part. I just need to know in what order and what type of cardio I shoud be doing?
Avatar m tn should i lift heavy weights during workout or light weights ??? some people says that heavy weight helps to gain mass while others say light weight is better ... So any one who can help me on this issue ?? PLEASE HELP ME !!

Avatar m tn d reduce the amount of weight your lifting and concentrate on the amount of reps you can do. The more reps of smaller weights you can do the better. make sure to start out with a good cardio warm up, lots of stretching as this will reduce the chance of strains and pulls. Drink lots of water as hydrating is important. If it doesnt change in the next 24-48 hrs, or becomes worse, i would contact your family doc. But sounds like you strained a muscle.
