There’s nothing to gain from pushing yourself beyond your capabilities
Last week we looked at some of the basic ways to begin your gym routine. This included incorporating a warm-up cardio and starting your weights programme with a light weight while building up gradually to your working sets.
Remember, the key to getting in shape is to be consistent with your workouts.
One thing I don’t get overly concerned with is the weights that I or my clients lift. You may find throughout the course of your training that some days you are able to lift heavier weights, while on other days you are not. This may be due to many factors, including how tired you are, how much sleep you have had, how you have been eating or how stressed your day or week has been.
What is important is to realise that every workout is important, so making excuses and missing one may lead you to self-sabotaging your own gains.
