Fitness: The TRUTH about CUSTOMIZED WORKOUT PLANS

 🔥WHY GETTING A CYSTOMIZED WORKOUT PLAN?🔥


🚶‍♀️Training itself can be very beneficial for your physical and mental health, therefore any effort you put on exercise, is certainly better than doing nothing at all.


🏋️‍♀️However, your workout regimen and the reasons you engage yourself into form a far more complex system of input and output that can affect your progress in multiple ways.

💃If you attend a group training course, you will still benefit from it but not the most, if your goal is very specific. That happens because general workout regimens and group training rely on a baseline that is applicable to the average individual, without concerning factors like training level, individual anatomical/structural needs, medical history, specific goals etc.

👩‍🎓🎓A personalized workout plan is created by certified professionals. That allows the plan to be tailored to your individual needs, goals, level, health conditions in order to help you progressively develop towards your specific goal.

⚠️Additionally, a personalized workout plan, takes into consideration your safety and provides you the necessary education in order to perform and progress in a multi beneficial way without putting yourself at a risk of injury.

📊Lastly, having a plan that was designed FOR you, educates you about your unique structural or functional points of importance, your metabolic response and your individual pathway to monitor and determine your progression pace in a structured and effective manner.📈📊

Fitness: FREE WEIGHTS VS MACHINES

Save this post because today we're addressing the all time classic debate:

🔥FREE WEIGHTS VS MACHINES🔥


Generally speaking, this debate has been on since the invention of machines, however, people tend to be quite biased about it and hence provide information selectively. Consequently the audience gets polarised either for or against, without really understanding why.


Let's get a few facts down:
✅Free weights activate more muscles than machines do. Why?
✅Because the range of motion isn't fixed and there is also a need to stabilize yourself.
✅ Therefore, free weights work more muscles, burn more calories and promote functional fitness.
✅Free weights allow a lot of room for variations and combo exercises, hence contributing to better mobility and functionality.


☑️On the other hand, machines are considered safer because the posture and range of motion are fixed.
☑️Machine lifting work is typically easier than the equivalent load on free weights so:
☑️It's easier to progress and also execute when your glycogen deposits are depleted.
.
🔥WHICH ONE IS BETTER?🔥

❗THEIR COMBINATION❗
Why choosing only one when you can have the best of both worlds? Just train smart, and keep your machine work for the last part of your workout.😎

Benefit from the free weights to improve your form and feel the difference yourself!


Fitness: Workout: 5 THINGS THAT CHANGE YOUR ARM WORKOUT EFFICIENCY

 🔥Five things that changed my arm workout efficiency?🔥



PROPER WARM UP = dynamic stretching and muscle activation sets pre-workout

MIND TO MUSCLE CONNECTION= being concentrated and focusing on the muscle contraction.

INCREASED RANGE OF MOTION & TIME UNDER TENSION: more time spent under pressure - aka best gains.

FOCUSED BREATHING: constant breathing ensures proper oxygen supply.
➡️Plus keeping the exhale for the most "difficult" part of the exercise gives you a small momentum boost to complete the rep😏🔥.

KEEPING TRACK OF THE WORKOUT:

1️⃣That way you can have a record of your 1RM and your total training volume to ensure that you train on progressive overload each time.
2️⃣Plus it provides structure and direction for your next workout instead of walking around and trying to remember where you stopped last time.😏
