Tip1: How to triple your workout results
Too often, you just get ond third of the benefits your workout can give you.
Let me take the dumbbell curl exercise which can train your biceps for example. There are 3 different strength levels in this exercise.
When you begin, you slowly curl the dumbbells up to your shoulders, this movement can trains your positive strength level.
Then you have to pause for a moment and contract the biceps at the top of this movement, this can train your static strength level.
At last, you lower the dumbbells slowly back to the beginning position. This can train your negative strength level.
What most people are doing wrong is that they focus too much on the positive portion or “lifting” of the movement. If you keep doing like this, you can just reap one third of the benefits as I mentioned above. Actually, it’s even less than that because the negative and static portions can create deeper inroads into your existing strength levels, this is what you want, isn’t it?
so if you want to triple your workout results, just make sure not to neglext the static and negative strength levels. Don’t waste the opportunity to get skinny 3 times faster.
Tip2: Do you know rest and sleep can help you get skinny faster?
Too often, people rush back into the gym, as many have been inundated with the “more is better” axiom when it comes to exercise.
However, this is wrong. When you proform your resistance exercise,the muscles experience tiny injuries or tears. The body’s response is to adapt and repair, getting stronger and larger muscles, which of course leads to burning more fat and a leaner body.But this growth and repair process won’t take place if the body is not allowed the time to do its job. So if we don’t get out of the body’s way and let it do its magic, we will experience poor results. We won’t burn fat and get skinny like we want to, and we will just end up demotivated or possibly give up our efforts altogether.
Now you have known the importance of the rest, you may want to know what’s the best rest cycle. The repair and recover process doesn’t happen overnight, it usually takes 2 days or more, So make sure to keep between 1-3 days of rest between your properly conducted resistance training workouts, or you will be short-circuiting your chances of success to burn fat and get skinny.
Tip3: How to judge your fat loss progress properly
The big mistake that many people make when they judge their fat loss progres is to be a slave to the scale. Scale is a great tool for sure, but there are two problems with using this tool.
One problem is that your body can fluctuate a few pounds up or down at different times of the day, but that dosen’t mean you’ve gained or burned fat, so you just play games with your mind if you follow the scale.
The other problem is that muscle weighs more than fat, if you have add some muscle to your body, this happens when you are following a resistance training, you may see a up-tick in what the scale says. However, this is a good thing, it means your body has become more efficient at burning fat and there are many other benefits of more muscle when you are doing fat burning. This is not the main topic here, so I will move on to the next point.
So what we should really look at is body fat percentage, go out and get a skin caliper, it’s very cheap, you need it to keep track of your relative body fat percentage. A great percentage for men is 12%-15%, and 16%-20% for women.
The last thing I want to say is that we are all the product of genetic inheritance. For example, some people may carry more fat in legs, then other people may carry more fat in belly. Some people can lose fat fast, some don’t. So if you can’t lose belly fat as fast as your friends, that doesn’t mean you are doing the wrong thing. You can only compare to yourself.
