How Resistance Training is Great for Muscle Building

When people first hear of muscle building they immediately think of weights

, bulging muscles and Swarzenegger bodies. Well, that is not really true. Yes, it is muscle mass one aims for but this is different from the heavy weight look.

Ever see those fitness magazines with the toned and lean bodies of the fitness models gracing the covers? Well, that is the muscle building that is being discussed here. Actually, there is no need to purchase all those weight lifting machines in order to get the physique, all one really needs is the resistance training program which makes use of uncomplicated elastic bands which can be brought anywhere, even in the office.

There are three types of resistance training and you can do all three by alternating the three in the week, work out at least 5 times a week, for one hour each, less if just a beginner. Gradually increase the number of reps as you get more fit, but never go beyond an hour and a half every day.

Isometrics involves pushing your body weight against an immovable object like the wall. Take a deep breath and lean on the wall with your hands or legs. Concentrate and focus on trying to move the wall, the muscles will contract. Let go slowly and repeat. This is not as easy as it sound you guys, this can be really draining if you do it right.

Isotonic repetitions are when you can use your own weight against the resistance bands. Again, just like the isometric exercises, concentrate, breathe in and out regularly and pull. When there is pain let off. There is no pain no gain here. If there is pain, release slowly until you find that point that is comfortable. You will find that as you continue to do these exercises you will be gain more strength and what used to be painful will no longer be.

Stretching exercises works on the individual muscles. Don't be too rough on your body, again relax and stretch until the point is reached where there is discomfort. Ease up a bit and find that point where there is no pain. Consistency on the stretching exercises will gradually extend the reach of the muscles and after time, you would be able to reach the floor again with your fingertips when doing the bending exercises.
