Have you ever taken a look around your gym to see what the people around you do?
Do you ponder whether the workout they are doing will help you reach your own physical goals quicker?
Those are a couple of questions to ponder as you continue to read this, but the fact of the situation is there is almost always a 'better ' lift to do than most of the lifts that you see folk performing at your gymnasium.
As an example, today a pair in my gym took it on themselves to do a variety of exercises working their body from head to toes, or so they thought.
Their workout began with some dumbbell shoulder shrugs. That exercise targets the trapezius muscles that, if large enough, might make you appear as if you have no neck.
On the surface of things that would appear to be a healthy exercise to do, but if you dig a little deeper you'll 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 amount of work done is equal to the force times the distance you are moving that force and the amount of times that you are moving that force. For example, if you were going to use 30-pound dumbbells you could move that weight an overall total of three inches maximum. The trapezius muscles are not that large therefore don't have the range the bigger muscle groupings do.
So that 30-pound weight moved three inches, 10 times, gives us a considerable number of 9 hundred. The unit of measure at about that point is unimportant.
Now lets look at an alternative exercise, the military press. This exercising is done with an Olympic bar pressing it from about your chin all of the way above your head till your arms about completely extended.
For this exercise we only employed the weight of the bar which is 45-pounds. If you make the motion as if you were performing the exercise you might notice that the distance that bar is going to go is around 24 inches or more depending on your size, and it was done for an overall total of ten repetitions. So 45-pounds, times 24-inches, times ten repetitions gives us several 10,800- again the unit of measure is irrelevant. It only becomes relevant if we were to work out that number into calories burned.
On the surface, doing the military press was twelve times better than doing a dumbbell shrug, and that was with only the 45-pound bar.
This is just one example of one way to see if you're getting the best out of your workout . Many of us are oblivious 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 towards exercises that may give you the bang for you buck.
