For many, the main goal is to achieve the fitness of their dreams. So they dedicate themselves to fitness precisely to have the opportunity to lose excess weight. For others, however, the purpose to be achieved is to keep fit, to be able to maintain a perfect physical shape that they have achieved following various efforts. In any case, whether you need to start losing weight from the beginning, or your goal is to maintain the physical shape you have achieved, there are very important rules that you should respect, in order to be able to reach the goal much hoped for. We want to give you some useful tips in this regard.


Follow a balanced diet

Even experts are competing in suggesting that the right physical activity must be accompanied by a healthy and balanced diet. Only in this way can effective and lasting results be achieved.

Of course, always consider that nutrition is also part of your lifestyle, so you can't expect to start changing it completely immediately. Start little by little, and then move towards a healthier diet, avoiding excessive fats and sugars and favoring fruit and vegetables above all.

 

Don't train too often

Especially beginners, those who approach the world of fitness for the first time, are convinced that the best results can only be obtained by training intensely and quickly.

Instead, we must say that it is just the opposite. It is important to train regularly, but not too often. Don't overdo it, especially when it comes to particularly intense physical activity.

You might even train two or three times a week and see that your muscles grow in the breaks between workouts anyway.

Start with the total body workout

Typically, experts recommend two types of training. These are the total body and the split routine. However, if you're just starting out, you should focus more on the workout that best suits your needs.

From this point of view, you could start with the total body. In fact, this type of activity allows you to train the whole body and your muscles can grow faster even with less intense sessions.

Focus on certain exercises, such as weight lifting, squats, and bench press exercises.

The split routine training, which allows you to train individual muscle groups more intensely, is not particularly suitable for beginners.

Do the right reps

Another question that those who practice fitness to maintain physical shape often ask themselves is related

to the number of repetitions they have to do. We recommend doing 12 to 15 repetitions of each exercise.

Do the same exercise three times, then do three sets of 12 or 15 repetitions, pausing for a minute between each set.

Start with machine training

For example, many are wondering whether it is more right to start with bodyweight training or with machines. Fitness experts recommend starting with machines, as it is easier to follow the exercises correctly. In fact, the machines already intervene directly on the movement and posture to be held.

Don't lose motivation

To continue training regularly, it is essential to try not to lose motivation. Always set yourself a goal to achieve and make sure that your goal is clear from day today.

Also try to always have a goal to achieve on a personal level, just to please yourself. This is the main satisfaction you need to get. If you train and fitness only to please other people, such as your doctor, parents, or friends, you may not have enough motivation to continue for long overtime.
