Gaining Muscle Fast - A Sure Method

We live in an age that people can get what they want in an instant

. We have computers that we expect to run as fast as we want, food that can be served in seconds, and can travel the globe in a matter of hours. This mindset can lead people to believe that their bodies will behave how they want them to in the time frame that suits them. They believe that gaining muscle fast or losing fat fast is a real possibility.

Changing your body composition is not an easy thing. It is not something that can be done quickly. Most people will not see results after a few weeks and may not see results after months of hard work. People that start to work out need to realize that gaining muscle fast is not a realistic goal. When starting a lifestyle change it should be noted that both diet and exercise play crucial roles in achieving the goals that are set.

While gaining muscle fast is a pipe dream, changing your overall health is not. A person can improve their health significantly by exercise and diet modification. These 2 lifestyle changes can help prevent diseases like high blood pressure and diabetes and can also help protect the person from the number one killer in America, Cardiovascular Disease.

Putting on muscle is primarily accomplished by resistance training through a process called hypertrophy, or the increase in muscle cell size. When muscles are torn during exercise the body repairs them and they are left bigger and stronger than they were before. Resistance training can be somewhat intimidating to a novice but is essential when changing body composition. Although the simple weight of your own body is enough resistance to provide an effective workout we need progressive overload (added resistance) to become stronger.

So all we need to do is add some weight wherever we can find some. Because there are no metal plates and fancy machines to use it does not matter because the body does not care where it is as long as it is receiving resistance of some kind. You can use heavy books clasped in your hands. You can buy some cheap weighted dumbbells or ankle weights. A weighted vest will also allow you to add resistance for both chin-ups and push-ups. Try to buy one that will let you remove and add weight as you see fit. Also a backpack filled with books can be perfect for most of the exercises and is a cheap alternative.

When a person realizes that quick muscle gains are probably impossible they can focus on setting realistic goals and developing a workout routine that can improve their overall health and probably extend their life.
