Ever taken a look round your gymnasium to see what the people around you do?
Do you ponder whether the workout they do will help you get to your own physical goals faster?
Those are a number of questions to contemplate as you continue to read this, but the fact of the matter is there is almost always a 'better ' lift to do than most of the lifts that you see folks performing at your gym.
For example, today a pair in my own gymnasium took it on themselves to do a selection of exercises working their body from head to toe, or so they thought.
Their workout started with some dumbbell shoulder shrugs. That exercise targets the trapezius muscles that, if big enough, might make you appear like you haven't got any neck.
On the surface of things that would appear to be a good exercise to do, but if you dig a bit 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 equals the force times the distance you're moving that force and the amount of times that you're moving that force. As an example, if one was to use 30-pound dumbbells you might move that weight a total of 3 inches maximum. The trapezius muscles aren't that massive therefore don't have the range that the bigger muscle groupings do.
So that 30-pound weight moved 3 inches, 10 times, gives us a bunch of nine hundred. The unit of measure at that point is irrelevant.
Now lets look at an alternative exercise, the military press. This exercise is done with an Olympic bar pressing it from about your jaw all 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 may notice the distance that bar is going to go is around twenty-four inches or even more depending on your size, and it was done for an overall total of 10 repetitions. So 45-pounds, times 24-inches, times 10 repetitions gives us a bunch of 10,800- again the unit of measure is unimportant. It only becomes important if we were to work out that number into calories burned.
On the surface, doing the army press was twelve times better than doing a dumbbell shrug, and that was with only the 45-pound bar.
This is one example of one way to see if you are getting the best out of your workout session. Many people are oblivious to a couple of the exercises that they opt to do and just do anything that comes to mind. You only have so much energy when you hit the gymnasium floor, make it count and put it towards exercises which will give you the bang for you buck.
