subject: 4 Tips For Improving Your Gym Training Results [print this page] I like seeing where every single hard earned coin goes and I like accounting for all my spending. This means that I maximize and make the best out of all the ventures that I invest in. Yes, body building is an investment. It is investing in your health as well as a form of saving in itself. Look at it this way, if you lead a healthy lifestyle, it means that you will hardly get sick and even when you have retired and no longer have medical cover, and you won't have to spend all your life savings on hospital bills that you get as a result of leading an unhealthy lifestyle. Some forms of cancer are as a result of leading a poor lifestyle and this has been proven by scientists.
So, here are some helpful tips that will ensure that you maximize the time you spend in the gym.
1. Talk less, work out more
If you are a very talkative person, chances are that even in the gym this will clearly be evident. Talking not only consumes the little time you have I the gym but it also uses up the energy that you could've used doing that final rep! No one goes to the gym to get the latest gossip or to ear other's opinion on soccer. If you want to talk, you guys can meet up outside the gym. Form a poker club or book club if you must but for you to use your time at the gym well, you need to spend your time in the gym well.
2. Reduce your toilet breaks
If your bladder get's full after every sip of water, then chances are that if you're not pumping at a machine, then you are taking another toilet break. Try as much as possible to reduce the amount of water you take during your workout sessions. Also, carry your own small bottle of water to avoid going to the fountain to take a sip of water after every other minute.
3. Go to the gym well fed
By this, I don't mean that you should have a hearty meal before working out but that your diet should be in check before hitting the gym. There is only so much that working out can do if you're not on a healthy and adequate diet. Do you're homework before you hit the gym and expect to get miraculous results.
4. Do cardio on your way to the gym
If you can run to the gym, then I suggest that you do that. This means that when you get to the gym, you can dive straight into other forms of exercises since you've already done your cardio. Do it o a minimum of 20 minutes but make sure that you stretch and warm up before hitting the road. You cannot afford to workout without stretching and warming up. You simply cannot. Enjoy your quality time there and pump those muscles!
