Have you ever taken a look round your gym to see what the people around you are doing?
Do you question if the workout they are doing will help you get to your own physical goals quicker?
Those are a couple of questions to contemplate as you continue reading this, but the fact of the situation is there is always a 'better ' lift to do than almost all of the lifts that you see folk performing at your gymnasium.
For example, today a pair in my gymnasium took it on themselves to do a selection of exercises working their body from head to toes, or that's what they thought.
Their workout commenced with some dumbbell shoulder shrugs. That exercise targets the trapezius muscles that, if massive enough, might make you appear as if you've got no neck.
On the surface of things that would seem to be a good exercise to do, but if you dig a little deeper you will find that exercise does little in the way of helping you burn even the most minute of calories.
Let us look at it mathematically. The quantity of work done equals the force times the distance you're moving that force and the amount of times you are moving that force. For instance, if one was to use 30-pound dumbbells you might move that weight a sum total of 3 inches maximum. The trapezius muscles aren't that large so don't have the range that the bigger muscles do.
So that 30-pound weight moved three inches, ten times, gives us a number of 9 hundred. The unit of measure at about that point is unimportant.
Now let's have a look at an alternative exercise, the army press. This exercise is done with an Olympic bar pressing it from about your jaw all of the way above your head until your arms about completely extended.
For this exercise we only utilised the weight of the bar which is 45-pounds. If you make the motion as if you were performing the exercise you could notice the distance that bar is going to go is around 24 inches or more dependent on your size, which was done for a sum total of ten repetitions. So 45-pounds, times 24-inches, times 10 repetitions gives us several 10,800- again the unit of measure is irrelevant. It only becomes applicable if we were to calculate that number into calories burned.
On the surface, doing the army press was 12 times more effective than doing a dumbbell shrug, and that was with only the 45-pound bar.
This is one example of a way to see if you are getting the best from your exercise session. Many of us are insensible to some of the exercises that they decide to do and just do anything that is evoked. You only have so much energy when you hit the gymnasium floor, make it count and put it toward exercises that will give you the bang for you buck.
