When I work out, I have a couple of goals in mind. One of course is to build strength, which is a three pronged attack. The first goal of progressive resistance is to build strength and balance. The second should always be cardiovascular training. The third should be flexibility. Now if you're like me, when you first heard this you first question is why do I need flexibility, or balance and why do I need balance?
Well strength without flexibility is nothing. If you can’t stretch and extend your strength isn’t usable. Your workout should incorporate stretching. In order to build or tone your muscles you need to stretch them. All workouts should start with a stretching of the muscles you intend to work out, however they should also be stretched during the workout. This allows for more growth of those muscles.
In order to use strength, you need to have balance. A wrestler can be strong as an ox, but without balance, he would be as clumsy as one. An effective athlete will have the combination of both. After watching the Olympics these past couple of weeks, I’ve been reminded that best athlete is not necessarily the strongest, and not always the fastest, not always the smartest. However if you possess a good balance of all three, you're going to find that you’re going to have a fair level of success in your athletic endeavors.
Cardiovascular health is most possible the most important prong. If you have strength, without conditioning you may look in shape, but you aren’t. Again the strength isn’t usable. Your workout should always include improving your cardiovascular system and respiratory system. This can be done to a small degree during your workout, it’s also important to include a good portion of cardiovascular work either before or after your workout. The time that is best for cardio, depends on the goal you have for your workout.
So in your next workout, check yourself and make sure you're attacking them from all three fronts. Next we'll dicuss what your other goals of your workout should be. I think you'll be surprized.

I did my chest and tricep workout last night. I started off with dumbell presses with palms inward. Ive gone up ten pounds on this exercise in a month. I used the smith machine to do my flat bench, and personal prefence but I like to have my legs up at a 90 degree angle to keep from bridging. I always throw in my flys on the pec deck, and that went up in wight too. Lastly I do half presses with lighter wieght, to get a pump in the chest.
Then I move on to triceps, I started with behind the head tricep extenstions on the machine. I dont use dumbells for this cause when the tri's get exhausted, they collapse and I dont like getting hit in the head with the heavy wieghts. I go to high pulley machine next and do tricep extenstions, with a bar, then with a rope to work all the way into the elbow. I finish up with kickbacks, and then do my cardio.
Hoo Haaaaaaaaaaaaa
see you all sooon

So hers my workout..
A lot of people somehow got locked in on doing chest and triceps on Monday. Its for this reason, and cause I hate waiting, that I start my day one or Monday off with back and biceps. The back will take a lot of work, so you can overload it. the biceps will take a good amount of work, but at some point they reach exhaustion and become noodles, so pace yourself.
I use this workout for Back and Biceps. It has been pretty good to me. I start off with cable pulldowns to the front, with a weight heavy enough to encourage growth, yet light enough to allow me to do the exercise properly. For me, I lower the bar to right in front of the top of my chest, Holding it here for a second puts a little extra zing into the muscle before returning in a controlled manner to arms fully extended over head. Currently Im doing 100 pounds for three sets of eight.
Next I want to do an exercise that stretches the lateral muscle and strengthens them as well. I like to do a bent over row on a rowing gig. I use a fairly wide grip and pulling somewhat slowly into the chest. I do this with 90 pounds three sets for 8.
Next is one arm bent over row, I perform these with 70 pound dumbbells, making sure the elbow rises straight above the back itself. three sets of 8.
Next is low pulley row, with 110 pounds. the focus here is to keep the back straight on completion. Knees slightly bent, to avoid putting stress on the joints.
Finishing up the back, more pulldowns, close grip this time. and since Im using a close grip, I can lean back and isolate the lateral muscles on this one. go as heavy as you can and still perform the exercise correctly. I do three sets with 100, for eight sets, then do a extra set at 70 of 20 just to pump it up a bump.
Now I move on to my arms. I like to start off with a fairly heavy preacher curl, three sets, then off to seated hammer curls, heavy and three sets of eight. Next I will work up a curl bar, for a total weight of 75. I do three sets of eight. next is a super set. I dont do these often, but his is one I enjoy. I do seven ups, ( a three part exercise consisting of seven lifts, from resting full arms extended to waist high, then seven lifts from waist height to shoulder height, and finally seven lifts from full rest to shoulder height.) and then between sets I use a low cable, set at its lowest position, and do curls with a low weight. This really pumps the bicep. Some days I feel like it is going to explode. I finish up with three sets of preacher curls, taking an extra beat during the exercise. going a little slower works the arm a little more intense.
I also do ab work on each days workout. I currently do 120 over the course of three sets. I do 10 with my legs bent at a 90 degree angle, then 10 with them slightly less bent, 10 with them straight up, and then ten bent below 90, I do three sets of this.
I finish up with my cardio. I used to do 30 minutes of cardio at a average or slower rate. Yesterday, I pushed harder, almost double for 15 minutes. The calorie level was about the same, and the sweat on my shirt seemed to indicate the 15 minutes of intense training, was just as good as 30 minutes, starting slow and working up to fast.
Ok hit the showers, and we'll discuss my second day workout next, Chest and triceps.

So you're the new kid....
Hopefully you took my advice and you're scheduling your workouts like appointments. After a week or two, it becomes a habit, you'll know your routine, and you'll work hard to not ever miss them.
So here you are first day.. you walk in, and wow, look at everyone they are so much different than you huh? Nawwwww they all came in here,or some wheres as starters beginners or firsters ( that's what we call you who start the gym as a new year ). so relax, take a better look around. There are people of all shapes and sizes in the gym, and a variety of reasons why they are there. Here's a few tips to help you survive in the gym.
You're allowed to ask questions. really, its ok. If your unsure of something, track down a employee, or trainer. If you can't find one, grab someone who's working out near by. As a rule people in the gym are pretty friendly.
Go slow.. I tell everyone I set up a program for or train to take it easy, You don't want to try to ride the bull the full 8 seconds out of the shoot the first time.
Don't worry about piling on a ton of weight, its form not weight that counts. Doing a exercise with low weight correctly and safely is better than lifting a ton wrong. really pay attention to form.
Breathe... Breathe in when there is low Resistance, and out when there is. Example doing a curl, starting at the bottom, breathe in, then release as you raise your arms upward. Never hold your breath while working out. Its really BAD. It can cause a hiatal hernia.
Drink, and then drink some more. If your thirsty, take a sip of water. Notice I said water, and not a brand energy drink. Read your labels, a lot of those drinks contain sugar. a lot of sugar. long story short, that turns into fat. Stick with water at first, if your really sweating profusely, you might ...might need electrolytes, but most of the time, your body just needs water.
Take rest when appropriate and work when you're ready. Get your workout in and you'll feel so much better. Ok ready?... lets warm up...

Packing that gym bag....
Fashion, believe it not shouldn’t be the first priority in the gym. Functionality, comfort and safety should always take preference. Not to say that fashionable gear isn’t available and not all are over priced. So lets pack your bag, for the gym… The first thing I always pack is a bottle of water. At least one 16oz bottle.
Let’s start with shoes. . Different activities may require different footwear. There is no one shoe that will cover all. I wish I could tell you what shoes would be best for you, but since everyone is different, alas so are the shoes, and no one shoe model will ever fit all. The best I can offer is advice. So follow some simple rules and you’ll be fine. First and most important, Don’t shop by price. If you find a great shoe at a great price, fantastic, but don’t settle for a off brand mediocre shoe that isn’t comfortable just because it appears to be a great price. My elders used to say all the time, don’t skimp on your shoes or your mattress. One you’re on all day, the other you’re on all night. Another reason to pick good shoes is poor fitting shoes can cause severe foot problems. Some of the more serious issues are Plantar Fasciitis, Bunions, corns and Calluses, hammertoes and claw toes, and something called Morton's Neuroma Metatarsalgia. None of these sound fun.
Take a good look at the activity you’ll be doing the most of. If you’re going to so aerobics, via a treadmill or running track, then you’ll want comfortable running shoes. If you’re workout is going to be more lifting than cardio, then Id look for cross training or training shoes. Make sure the soles are flat enough to provide adequate support and stability. If you plan on doing a lot of classes, then check with the instructor(s) ask them what kind of shoes they’d recommend. Most likely they will recommend a type, not a brand.
Socks at least two pair. Shoes are not made to be worn without socks. Doing so will curtail the life of the shoe. Not to mention as your foot sweats, it will slide and slip in the shoe, which is a quick recipe for blisters. Again the key here is comfort, and functionality. I prefer white because my feet really sweat, and I don’t like having them dyed by colored socks. I like ankle high or footie’s, as we used to call them. Depending on what I am doing that day. I find days where I am on my feet more; I like the footie’s.
Sweat pants or shorts. I like sweats. I don’t feel comfortable in shorts working out. Never have. It’s just a personal preference. I like cotton, soft and seamless. If you like shorts, be careful that the shorts aren’t tight around the thighs, and or waist. Check for seams that maybe rubbing on your skin. They should be loose and comfortable. But not so baggy that they could get caught on equipment or make you trip. You’ll find a variety of styles; closures snap buttons or the reliable tie at the waist ones. Colors are out there, in a literal rainbow of colors. You can obtain them in team’s logos and colors, locations, schools, and TV shows. You should have a different one for each day you intend on working out. You could wash the same one after you use it, each time, but that’s a lot of laundry…
Shirts, and or sweatshirts.
Again there are a million to choose from, the key is comfort. I’ve seen probably everything. I’ve seen women who enjoy just wearing a sports bra, covered with a halter or tank top, and I’ve seen others who like to wear a long sleeve tee shirt covered up with a sweatshirt.
I like to wear a ball cap when I work out, some do, and some don’t. I also like to listen to my IPOD as I workout. Somehow running on the treadmill doesn’t feel so bad when listening to Jackson Browne sing running on empty. If you mind calluses on your hands, wear gloves, or if your gym allows it gymnastic chalk. Or if you don’t mind then bring a moisturizer to soften the hands afterwards.
Lastly bring a towel, unless your gym provides them, and your shower goodies, soap, shampoo, etc, a pair of shower shoes and a lock for your locker, and your bag is complete.
Now for some stuff not to bring, and a work of caution..
Don’t overdress, unless you will remove items as you get heated. So don’t bring three sweatshirts to wear, or those damn plastic suits. The use of these while exercising can lead to Severe dehydration. Wearing plastic\rubber suits are dangerous! Although they were used in high school, by the football and wrestlers in my school, they have since been outlawed by the governing body of High School athletics. They cause over sweating and while you’ll lose weight at first, its going to be short lived, and could cause serious complications or death.. Working out when dehydrated can lead to heat exhaustion, heat stroke, brain damage and even death!! If you have one from your old days on the wrestling team, toss it in the garbage now. If you don’t have one, don’t buy one. It’s a waste of your money.
Don’t bring your medicine cabinet. I don’t believe in miracle cures, they don’t work. There’s no pill to make you lose so much weight so fast or it’d be all over the place and everyone would be taking it. There’s no pill without side effects, to make you bigger. Notice I said without side effects. We’ll discuss steroids at another time.
Ok looks like your all set. Next let’s discuss what you can expect on workout day and what to expect the day after.

What is exercise...
Wiki says, Physical exercise is any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health. It is performed for many various reasons. These include strengthening muscles and the cardiovascular system, honing athletic skills, weight loss or maintenance and for enjoyment. Frequent and regular physical exercise boosts the immune system, and helps prevent the "diseases of affluence" such as heart disease, cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes and obesity It also improves mental health, helps prevent depression, helps to promote or maintain positive self-esteem, and can even augment an individual's sex appeal or body image
Webster.com defines it as ...
1 a : the act of bringing into play or realizing in action : use b : the discharge of an official function or professional occupation c : the act or an instance of carrying out the terms of an agreement (as an option) —often used attributively
2 a : regular or repeated use of a faculty or bodily organ b : bodily exertion for the sake of developing and maintaining physical fitness
3strong : something performed or practiced in order to develop, improve, or display a specific capability or skill >
So basically any activity can be exercise if done to a level that improves your overall health, but to me exercise is also an activity that you enjoy doing and thus aren't to adverse to doing it. We ran everywhere in the army, all the time, 24-7. That's serious physical activity. Since we all didn't really enjoy it, although some did, and thrived on it, I wouldn't call it exercise. When we were kids and there was no playstation3 or Wii, and we played baseball, basketball or football, jumped rope all day, or played tag, that's exercise! so while there are three main types of exercise... Aerobic exercise is one that works and improves the oxygen consumption in the body. These are normally activities that are going to require a exertion of near maximum effort for a extended period of time. To be done properly, you need a warm up, then the workout and then a cool down period. This allows the heart rate to reach optimal levels through out the workout. Some basic aerobic exercises would be biking, swimming, running (jogging) dancing..
The next type of exercise is anaerobic, as you might expect, its exactly what aerobic exercise is not. Its intense activity, for a short period of time, It puts demands on the body for more oxygen than it brings into the body. It requires energy stored in the muscles also known as ATP(Adenosine-5'-triphosphate ). some classic types of this exercise are Weight Lifting, sprints, and interval training. Isometrics also falls into this category this is when one body part is used to provide Resistance to another as in Pilate's.
Lastly and most certainly most important is stretching. Stretching increase flexibility, which increases range of motion, Increasing range of motion, gives you a broader range for doing Anaerobic exercise. If you re going to be sprinting and you don't warm up, your performance is going to be much less than desirable compared to the sprinter who stretches and warms up. Stretching is also a key way to avoid injuries. By stretching your warming up the muscles slightly but enough to stimulate them avoiding cold start injuries, such as pulls, or muscle cramps. Some classic stretching exercise programs would be Tai-Chi or Yoga.
The idea exercise routine will incorporate all three of these types of exercise in a mix that will help you reach the goals you've set for yourself.
The trick is to pick a routine that fits your personality. Someone who shuns away from physical contact may not want to take up wrestling in order to get fit. Someone who doesnt like to be alone shouldnt start self training for a marthon.
Heres a quiz I found on Prevention.com. Click here. The quiz nailed my prefences down pretty quick.
Once we figure out what we want... and will actually do, we can start looking for a place to start our journey. Next lets talk about what you should look for in a gym.
