By Sally Mop


Maintaining a healthy fitness level is part of living a healthy lifestyle. At times, though, there is such an overwhelming amount of information available, that does not all agree, and it can be difficult to ascertain what is right. There will be times when you are inclined to quit, but try to fight that urge. By reading this article, you can have a healthier and fitter lifestyle.

Are you strapped for time when it comes to working out? Make your workouts into two sessions. You do not need to increase the overall amount of time spent working out, just split a regular training session into two smaller halves. Rather than spending 60 minutes jogging, run for half an hour near the beginning of your day and then again nearer the end. If you don't want to hit the gym twice in one day you can do one gym workout, and one outside workout.

If you are lifting weights to work your biceps, ensure that you use proper form. This is essential, because you can easily strain your muscles with poor form. You want to slightly extend your wrists backwards and hold it; this is the proper way to lift. Slowly release your wrist into a normal position. You'll avoid the chance of injury and build your biceps properly this way.

Don't lift weights for more than an hour at a time. Besides producing cortisol, working out for over an hour actually causes muscle waste. So remember to limit your weight lifting to no more than 60 minutes.

When lifting weights, you will help muscle mass if you do a lot of reps with a light weight; that is in contrast to fewer reps with high weight. Muscle mass is not all about being able to lift the most but to endure the longest without losing strength. Many heavy lifters use this specific method.

There are all kinds of classes you can take to keep it fresh. Changing things regularly can open your mind to new things and keep you motivated. Consider taking yoga or dance classes. Or you can take a martial arts or aerobics class. The great thing about trying different classes is that you need not return to any you don't like, and you'll still be working out productively throughout the trial process.

You need not worry if this is the case. Bicycling is another excellent fitness option. Biking is one to consider. It is inexpensive and enjoyable. If you can bike to work, it will save you the cost of gas or bus fare, while providing a good fitness workout. Riding five miles to work should take you about a half hour and you will get double the fitness since you have to ride home.

When you are watching television, you can still exercise to continue your momentum in losing weight. You can walk around your living room during a commercial or do an exercise when there is a break in the action. Weight training is easy to do while watching television on the couch. Keep looking for new ways to get that extra bit of exercise in.

Experts have conflicting opinions about fitness, and it is therefore a messy subject. In spite of that, there are some universal dos and don'ts when it comes to working out in pursuit of your fitness goals. Separate fitness facts from fiction with the advice in this article.
