Gym Routines For Beginners
Feel out of place on a treadmill? Or just out of practice and need to build up your stamina… this is the workout for you.
Fitness has many benefits, it combats fatigue, speeds up your metabolism and helps you lose weight. But getting there can be daunting and a hard slog. Here are some tips to get you on the way to the new, fit, you.
Always, always stretch before and after your cardio routine. Focus on the muscles you will use in your routine- calves, achilles, glutes, back, neck and shoulders (you tend to tense your upper body when running).
On your chosen cardio machine (bike, treadmill, cross-trainer) start at a slow speed to warm up your muscles for 5-10 minutes. Pick either a period of time, say 30 secs, or a distance on your machine, like 100m, and run or cycle as fast as you can without slowing down for that chosen increment. Once you’ve done that slow back down to a comfortable fast walk or cycle for double the time or distance you did your fast set at. Repeat this for at least 30 minutes. Finish off your work out with a slow cool-down, weights and stretches.
If you repeat this 2-3 times a week you should start to find it easier. It’s then time to step it up and reduce your “rest” time. You should soon be able to last the entire half hour without any rest period, and you’ll be running a marathon in no time. More weight training workout routines on Muscle&Strength.
