The society here in Singapore is leaning towards fitness and health. This is a good thing for a nation that is so busy about economics and finances. The government is encouraging all to be fit and healthy by providing subsidies and access to activities that promote fitness and health. If you want join, you have to act immediately before it is too late.
Strong is the new sexy here in Singapore. There are women here who are inspired to lead an active lifestyle. These women are particular about toning and muscles. If you want to be strong and be like other women with muscles, you can consider the following tips:
1. Hit the weights. Many women are not particular about weights because they do not see and understand its importance and benefits. If you know what shape you want, weights can help you sculpt your body. If you lift weights, your muscle’s density and mass will increase. Even if you leave the gym, the muscle will still retain.
2. Do not overwork on cardio. If you think that cardio can help your shape, you have to think twice. Cardio alone is not effective when building muscles. Cardio can only help you burn calories. It is an excellent cardio-vascular exercise which can keep your heart healthy. However, cardio cannot help you build or tone your muscle. Cardio is after all a “neurogenic training” which does not promote muscular density.
3. Think of reps. You need to contact and stress your muscles. With that, you should aim for repetitions. Aim for at least 6 or 12 repetitions and the movement should be challenging.
4. Remember compound. You have to consider compound movements. Compound movements are heavy movements like deadlifts and squats. These movements can improve your core.
5. Fuel up. Your body needs to fuel up. Sometimes you underestimate it and simply neglect fuelling your body. You have to know that fuelling entails taking amino-acid during and after your workout.
6. Diet. Apart from taking amino-acids, you also have to watch out for your diet. You need to lessen processed foods and start preparing your food from fresh. This can make your muscles harder and firmer.
The tips mentioned above are only effective if you put your heart to it. It should come together to be effective. Remember that all things are possible. You will enjoy it if you are with your friends. You can build your muscles in your house by securing different items but if you want to be trained professionally, it is time to hit the gym. Good luck!
