Keep a chart/record of your day to day performance

Tuesday, February 21st, 2012
Keep track of your records in your workouts on your calendar, and then reward yourself for keeping your appointments. Plan your reward system in advance based on the duration of your workouts as well as the results. Reward yourself for good performances by taking extra leisure time or enjoy an hour of television or computer game-playing if you take two inches off your waist. Also make sure you keep your goal short, because it takes less time to achieve. The more faster you achieve it the more happier you feel about it.
Measure your day to day fitness. Weight is not the only thing to keep track of. One could keep track of number of pushups, workout with dumbbells, running time and so on and always work on it each day to beat your own record and push more. This way one gets more enthusiasm and helps one to always keep motivated about day to day workout plan and perform and achieve even more. So make it a habit, Dream big achieves big that should be the motto and try setting your record for this New Year. You will definitely do well with your workout.

Wednesday, February 15th, 2012
Care and maintenance during a workout is very important. Maintaining your postures, improving on your bad habits, care about the diet, care while training or doing exercises all matters. If you perform the exercise in a wrong manner or posture you are bound to get wrong results and sometimes affect your body and health too. The seating and standing postures should therefore be maintained so as to avoid fatal injuries.
Also excessive workout that is crossing your limits can cause severe wear and tear in the muscle it can even tear the muscle completely and get you a long term injury. Also overstraining your body is bad for health. One should also maintain a proper balanced and healthy diet form time to time. Use bandages for hand and legs or use a back support just as a precaution. While working with equipments, one should only try and work on equipments that best suits him and not to go for the once on which he can’t workout properly. Anytime, health is more important, working out is just a way to improve once health. So take all precautions before you workout.

Workout with a buddy or a trainer

Saturday, February 11th, 2012
Ask a friend to join you. Having a social aspect to exercising can boost your commitment to the exercise habit and you can always compare your progress with your buddy. Also it brings about more fun and enjoyment in the workout something which you can share and talk about and relax during the workout and not make it a daily boring routine.
Another thing I recommend is a trainer. Please don’t do anything if you don’t know, always ask someone who knows or get a trainer and workout with him. He can get the best out of you and put a proper workout plan in place for you. He can give you more helps and tips and work on more strategies to enhance your performance during a workout. He can also help to keep a track of how well your being performing and if not what else you could do to improve it. Working out with a trainer in gym is mostly preferred now days. But off late there are applications on mobiles to having a trainer on your mobile and even online trainers are available so you don’t have to go to the gym all the time.

Knowing your limits before you workout

Monday, February 6th, 2012
Do you workout hard? Is “no pain, no gain” your exercise ethos? Do you feel like you are not getting the fitness results you expect? Your brain could be to blame. That’s the bad way to do it. Each one has its own limits, if you cross it at times its quiet fatal and can lead to a long term injury.
Pushing beyond your limits creates physical and mental stress that can derail your fitness gains. Overtraining, as the condition is called, puts you at high risk for so-called “breakdown injuries” such as tendinitis and stress fractures. Also, while a certain amount of exercise boosts the immune system, overdoing it can temporarily suppress it, leaving you vulnerable to viral infections. Optimal physical activity enhances mood and stress levels, but too much can leave you irritable, anxious, depressed and listless.
If you’re just getting back into a program, go slow, devoting a lot of time to training form. This New Year try to know your limits. You can always increase your limits, but don’t give it all at once keep on increasing your workout steadily and slowly. This way you’ll be able to train more too without breakdown.
