Fitness Training Can Be Overdone

vary your training activities

Warning! Warning! You can do more harm than good when working at body building and fitness.

You may find that hard to believe. Many people new to fitness training don’t realize these can be dangerous situations. Don’t  get caught up in something that seems harmless, but can bring real trouble in years to come. Read these carefully.

Problem #1.  Making each training session too long, or never varying the routine.

Vary your routines, even vary the  activity. And limit your sessions to no more than 1 hour.

You will learn the detail of why this is important as you progress through your fitness program. Assuming you have chosen a program that gives you a complete education about fitness, not just a list of exercises.

But, the simple, and totally unscientific explanation is that after about an hour your hormone levels change.  When testosterone levels decline, you won’t be building muscle and you can be loosing.

Varying the routine will do 2 things:  a) hold off boredom and 2) help keep you concentrating on what you are doing.  When a workout routine becomes too “routine” your mind tends to wander and accidents can happen.

Problem #2.  Improper diet, and meal skipping.

The Visual Impact Muscle Building system, will help you learn about nutrition and diet.  And about supplements.  It is a very important part of every fitness regime.

Some newbie mistakes in this category are:

  • Skipping meals – could be worse for you than eating “Greasy Joe’s” 15 napkin burger.
  • Avoiding all fats – proper nutrition is balanced through all the food groups – you need some fat. Just be sure it is the right kind.
  • Watch the supplements.  You may want, or even need the boost the proper supplements will give you.  But, be diligent.  Follow instructions to the letter.  This is not a place where ‘if a little is good, a lot is better’!  In fact it is just the opposite.

Problem #3.  Not getting the proper rest.

Listen  to your body and take the days off it needs.

Getting headaches, think maybe a cold is coming on? Got muscle and or joint aches?  Wake up in the morning still tired?

You may not be giving your body the tst it needs.  Training needs recovery time.  You don’t gain by pushing too hard.  And you have a lot to loose.

You want to look ripped even at 40 and past, not sidelined for injuries you should have avoided.  Don’t get to thinking you know more than you do.  Follow your program as it is being taught.

A truly good trainer has written his program as it is, to be the best for you.  If you have chosen wisely, trust the program.  You will be safe and successful.

You can trust Randy Meyers, whose program we recommend here.
