Workout Tips

Learn how to save time while you workout. If you follow our advices you can get more results in less time and release a giant surge of nutritions and muscle growth hormones into your bloodstream. We show you how to recruit more muscles in each and every of your exercises. Let our workout tips improve your routine.

Workout Tip 1

Use negative reps to your advantage. You do not know what negative reps are? Negative reps refer to the phase were you bring the weights in the starting position. Instead of hasting through your workout take our advice and try to do the negative reps as effective as the positive reps.

Workout Tip 2

Set goals and write down your personal roadmap. Yes, we want you to write a workout journal. If you are member in a big gym, your fitness trainer will do this but if you are working out for yourself you have to do it. Apart from not forgetting where you want to go it is also stimulating to see where you come from.

Workout Tip 3

Watch when and what you eat. We suggest eating right after you wake up and within 30 minutes after your workout. During the day you should eat only small portions of healthy food like bananas, nuts and salads. So much for the "when", but the "what" is at least as important. Try to opt for cereals with fruits, milk or a plain yogurt in the morning. The carbohydrates will give you enough energy for the day. Fruits and dairy products contain vitamins, proteins and minerals your body needs. After your workout you should eat food that helps your muscles to recover and grow. Suitable for your post workout needs are plenty of proteins and minerals. Both are very very important. We suggest fresh vegetables, chicken, tuna and steaks. Try to eat not too fat and not too late. Do not eat within the last 4 hours before you go to bed.

Workout Tip 4

Combine cardio and weight lifting. If you focus on muscle mass and you want to build muscles, do cardio after your workout routine. Of course you can warm-up before you go to the weight lifting section but do not overdo it. The problem with aerobic exercises is, that they make you tired. You do not need to feel sleepy before weight lifting, right? Try to keep in mind that your body burns muscle mass more likely than fat. If you want to reduce fat and grow muscles start stepping and running when you have finished the tough part.
