Workout Sheets

By Emmanuel Palmer

Do you agree that everyone is entitles to a full life? Of course! One way of achieving this is committing to an active and healthy way of life. If you don't have the means to enroll in a fully equipped gym, it doesn't mean you cannot have any part in this. Be creative. We have listed some excellent tips on the best ways to work out at home.

Since working out at home is relatively convenient and cost free - inspiring yourself to exercise regularly might prove to be a challenge in itself. To stay motivated, ask yourself what put you in this path to well-being in the first place? Is it the goal of having a beach worthy body all year? Is it building strength and stamina for sports or highly energetic activities? Maybe you just want to be healthy. Whatever the reason may be, tack on a picture or phrase that will remind you of your goals some place where you -'ll always see it.

To make your home training sessions more effective, you need to monitor your progress regularly with detailed workout sheets. You can download these on the Internet or create and print your own log yourself. Before anything, list down important information about yourself like your age, what weight you started with, your present measurements, etc. Make it as specific as possible and check up on it weekly or monthly.

Separate the sheet into several columns. On the first line list down the exercise you've done and put in the following columns the reps, sets, weight load and the duration of time you executed the entire drill. Place a comment file beside the last file and write down things that happened to you that day that may have affected your training. For example, put in your mood that day, any special incidents that happened prior to working out, meals consumed recently, etc. Workout sheets have many times isolated specific problems by recognizing glitches in your lifestyle.

Aerobic exercises are the easiest and cheapest way to keep fit. Most cardiovascular activities are free and can be done almost anywhere, anytime. How about taking a 30 minute jog around the park 3x a week? Take the stairs instead of the elevator; perform several minutes of jumping jacks or jump rope; or just crank up the MTV and start dancing up a storm!

Crunches and squats are probably two exercises that never go out of style. Fortunately for us, this can be done for free and in the convenience of our homes. Put your hands on your waist and begin executing lunges and squats in your living room. You can lie on the floor and do some crunches or sit by the edge of a piano bench and do 20 leg raises in sets of 3 to develop your abdominal muscles.

If you are able to, invest in a few dumbbells of different weight loads. If you have none available, make use of water bottles, detergent containers or whatever you can think of that will offer you some resistance when carried. Push-ups and knee-ups will help tone up your arms anywhere. Make sure you always have time to stretch well before, during and after training to release blood flow and increase your body temperature prior to working out.

There you go - the easiest formula to stay fit is by finding ways to workout at home effectively. Stay motivated and look good every time you step out of the house! - 17269
