Strength training for a fit girl

Strength exercise usually involves the training of several muscles between the upper and lower limbs. There are several sophisticated types of equipment required for the training and many instructions to adhere to. An exercise that enhances strength is a general workout that enhances your general wellbeing; there is an increment in muscle fibres and the ability of the muscle to use up protein kinase. It is therefore essential that the trainee should consume high protein foods.

Beginners may find strength training somewhat stressful because it requires exercising all the muscles in the body. For an individual to attain fitness, the need for consistent practice or exercise and proper dieting can’t be ignored.  

However, the training is usually scheduled for three days a week to avoid over-working the muscles which can eventually lead to muscle tear. The days in between were strategically placed to help prevent overexertion and also give time for muscles to repair. You must see your doctor before you start strength exercising.

The process of strength training can be stressful especially for beginners but this article will help you through the process.

Getting started with strength require you to start with precise programs. Since it’s a marathon, not a sprint there is a need for you to do it slow and steady. There is a gradual change in reps and sets that is; 

• Reps mean how many times do you repeat the same exercise program WHILE
• Sets: This is the total number of repetitions performed for each program.

The goal is to build all the muscles of the body, which help you perform well in your day-to-day activities with little to no stress. You need to start from the basics.  It is important to start with simpler routines and goals that are achievable.

There are several ways you can achieve strength training but weight-lifting is key in the game of strength-building. For starters, begin with the lightweight. Increment in kilogram is important during the journey of strength building. To avoid muscle strain, tear or swear there is a need for you to regulate the amount of kilogram that will be lifted. 

The following are things to start with:

Warm-Up: It is crucial to warm up before you start an exercise session because warm muscles are less prone to injuries. Try and engage in about 7 – 10 minutes of cardio-respiratory warm-up exercise. Do your warm-up program lifting light weights with your gaze set on the goal and good form. You have a good form when you have improved muscles that can tolerate stress with less susceptibility to injuries of any form. It is essential to challenge yourself but make sure you don’t overwork yourself with the load. The focus of the exercise from the beginning isn’t to build instant abs packs or broad shoulders but the essence of the training for the first few weeks is to get familiar with the training process. Certainly, you can’t build your lean muscles into the rigid and firm muscles you fantasize about over-night.
