FAQ's
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
How long and how often should I workout? |
 |
Minimally, it's recommended that you workout
at least 3 days per week for 30 to 60 minutes each session for
maximum fitness benefits. If you find it difficult finding time
to complete your workout, you may try breaking it up into the
upper body and lower body. |
|
I've heard of aerobics, but what is anaerobic training? |
|
Anaerobic training is resistance training
that does not require oxygen for energy. |
|
Doesn't weight training bulk you up? |
|
No. Bulk only occurs with a combination of
high caloric intake and specific training using extremely heavy
weights. Women particularly have little chance of bulking up
since they contain about 1/30th the hormone (testosterone) required
to achieve that level of definition. |
|
Do I really need to stretch before and after I workout? |
|
Yes, stretching is imperative before and
after working out because it prepares the muscles for vigorous
work and helps prevent injury. Don't forget to warm up the muscles
BEFORE stretching with a 5 minute cardio prep or rhythmic limber,
i.e., treadmill, exercise bike, running in place or jumping
jacks. |
|
What's the best way to workout? |
|
The most effective workout is a balance of
cardiovascular exercise, weight training, and a flexibility
program. |
|
Can I workout and still eat what I want? |
|
No, 50% of the success of any fitness program
is in what you eat. Diets should be modified to insure a healthy
balance between fat and calories. A nutritional program made
up of complex carbohydrates, quality protein, essential fats
and leafy green vegetables is the key to success. This diet
will be specific to your individual goals. |
|
How do I get started? |
|
Depending on your physical state, It is recommended
that you start slowly with a minimum of 20-30 minutes of physical
activity, i.e., walking, light jogging, bicycling or light aerobics,
performed 3 times per week, for a couple of weeks. Then one
can move into resistance training combined with cardiovascular
exercise. |
|
Sometimes I experience a burning sensation when I workout, what is that? |
|
That burning sensation in the muscle is caused by a build up of lactic acid. It generally is not something you need to worry about. Try working through the 'burn', however, if this persists, stop the exercise that is causing the pain immediately and see a physician. |
