Chapter 1 – The Importance Of Exercise
The focus of this eBook is going to be on the role diet when it comes to building up your muscles and how to best adapt your diet for optimal muscle development. However, even the best muscle building diet in the world will fall flat if you don’t combine it with an effective exercise program. So before I delve into the muscle building diet, I’m going to provide you with some basic muscle building exercise tips you can use to enhance the effects of your muscle building diet.
1. Research The Different Types Of Muscle Building Exercises
When building up your muscles, there are eight main muscle groups you need to be training; chest, triceps, upper back, biceps, forearms, shoulders, legs and core. There are hundreds of different exercises you can use to target these muscle groups. So do some research and find a selection of exercises you like that build up each of these eight muscle groups.
2. Use These Exercises To Create A Muscle Building Workout Plan
Learning about the different types of muscle building exercises and the ones you prefer is a great first step. However, to complete the process, you need to formulate these exercises into a muscle building workout plan.
To do this, you first need to think about your muscle building goals. If muscle size and strength are important to you, then you need to be lifting relatively heavy weights for short amounts of time. If a more toned, less bulky physique is what you desire, then you should lift lighter weights for longer periods.
Next you’ll need to think about how many times per week you want to workout. Working out 3-5 times per week will stimulate muscle growth, so decide exactly how many days you can dedicate to exercise and then schedule them into your routine.
Finally, you need to bring all this information together and ensure that you perform 2-5 exercises for each of the eight muscle groups over the course of the week.
3. Get Some Assistance
By researching, planning and preparing your muscle building workouts, you’ll have all the information you need to start exercising. However, information is no substitute for experience and if you’re just starting out, having someone with you who’s got practical knowledge will make you much more comfortable with your muscle building workouts. An experienced workout partner or guide will also be able to provide you with some unique tips that can’t be researched.
