Information You Should Know About Fitness Trainers

We all were born small and weak but nobody said we have to stay that way. The weight trainers say this to motivate the clients and their way of doing this job really works. People initially smile at their words, but the message sinks in. In fact getting huge, strong muscles and gaining strength is not impossible. It is also not a child's play either. Weight lifting has been one the most effective and oldest ways of building body strength and muscles. Free weights are always better than weight lifting machines because they labor the body more naturally and according to its unique requirements.

Weight training routines are not that difficult to create. What a person need is a little basic knowledge of the exercises and the muscles they work. Here a few common weight lifting exercises are listed under the muscles they train recommended by the weight trainers;

Chest: Flat Bench Press; Incline Bench Press; Flat Bench Dumbbell Flyes; Incline Dumbbell Flyes etc.

Back: Dead lift; Lat Pull down or weighted pull ups; Seated Cable Row; Bent over barbell row; Bent over 1 Arm Dumbbell Rows etc.

Biceps: Standing Barbell Curls; Preacher Curls with dumbbells or barbells; Seated/Standing Dumbbell Curls etc.

Triceps: Triceps Press Down; Dips; French Press etc.

Legs: Squats; Calve Raises

Shoulders: Seated/Standing Military Press with barbell or dumbbells; Lateral Raises; Shrugs etc.

Now also what a person needs to know from a weight trainer is that actually weight lifting works not when he continually work his muscles, but when one work them intensely for short periods and then give them a resting period to heal and build. People should take the example of working their biceps with dumbbells; a standard is to do 8-10 reps. the point of these reps is one begin exhausting his muscles tissues, so that it utilize more and more oxygen.

According to the weight trainers, after a long term practice a time will come, around the 6th to 7th rep when the muscles tissue will not get the needed oxygen, it will then turn to an anaerobic state where it burns the glycogen in the stored in it instead. This is what causes the elevated metabolism and burning sensation towards the end of a workout. The last reps actually injure body muscle a little so that when it heals, newer and stronger muscles grow. The secret to muscle building and weight lifting is to give the muscles time and rest after they have received the stimulus to grow. So if one continuously works his muscles, he risks inflicting permanent injury to them instead of building them.

Now a weight trainer can only say where does the danger of overworking the body muscles come from! There are two sources; not giving breaks between workouts, if one work out seven days a week, should not expect any muscle gain. In fact one will be well on his way to severe muscle injury. There should be an interval of 1 or 2 days between workouts. Also working out without considering secondary muscles is injurious to health. An important thing that one should know is that every time he work a certain set of muscles, there is also a secondary set that gets worked as well. For instance, every time one work his chest muscles or shoulder muscles, his triceps get a work out too. Similarly, every time one works his back muscles, his biceps get a workout. The main point here, then, is to create a proper balance.
