Best Total Gym Workout for Getting Results
Get a Great Workout in Less Than 20 Minutes!
Listen to your body when planning a workout schedule. In general, you can do strength-training every other day, but your body will need more of a break from time-to-time. If you schedule means you won't be able to workout for three orAfter warming up a little bit (maybe 5 minutes of walking or just moving around the room to warm-up the muscles), start with a basic pull-up. Lay on your stomach, with your neck and head positioned above the bench. Use a reasonable weight and use the cords to perform pull-ups. Perform the repetitions slowly and smoothly. 10 slow repetitions are far better than 20 fast ones. Form is of paramount importance. Take a minimal break in between "sets" before continuing with the same exercise. Pay attention to the muscle "burn" when doing an exercise. There's a distinct difference between a muscle burning and outright pain. A good burn will help your muscles grow, pain will set you back in exercise routine, possibly causing injury.
Next is the bicep curl. From the same position as the pull-up (which uses 80%) of your upper body muscles by the way), turn over your hands and you are in perfect curl position. The most important thing is keeping your shoulders down (remember this is a bicep exercise) and your wrists strong. Again, perform this motion slowly and consistently. Honestly, the slower the better for muscle development. Women: don't worry, you won't turn into a muscle-bound arm wrestling champion with these exercises. Anywhere from 3-6 sets is a good place to start. With these first two exercises being from the same position, you can do them in just a few minutes.
