workout schedule

Are you having problems designing your workout schedule? Here are some helpful tips I found that you can follow:
 Be realistic about your current fitness level and choose goals, classes and activities that are appropriate. If you can’t remember the last time you put on running shoes, start slowly to build both your strength and stamina without injuring yourself or burning out.
 Invest in one or two sessions with a personal trainer. He or she can help you establish reasonable goals and present options that you may not have considered.
Start gradually. Do up to 30 minutes of cardio work mixed with strength training three times per week or more. Also incorporate flexibility exercises into your workouts. Continually evaluate your progress and set new goals.
Develop with a qualified trainers help a weight-lifting program that meet your specific performance goals.
Be sure to work the entire body consistently and balance opposing muscle groups.
 Rotate your cardio work on the days you rest form weight lifting. Cross-train with a variety of activities instead of just one. You’ll challenge different muscles, prevent injuries due to overuse and avoid burnout.
 Aim for a heart rate within your training zone. Subtract your age from 220 and multiply it by 0.6 and 0.8 to determine the lower and upper limits of your training heart-rate zone. You will not achieve cardiovascular benefits unless your heart rate reaches that zone.
 Schedule time in your calendar to work out. If you have got it written down, you will be more apt to keep the appointment.
Follow these helpful tips and it will be hard not to improve your fitness level.
