When you’re coming up with your own fitness
routine, whether it’s for the gym or in any other sporting facility, it’s very important to start out by determining your
health goal. Your health goal with lay
the groundwork for what kind of exercises you have to do, and how often you need to do them.
Here’s a quick guide.
Weight loss: Weight loss routines usually emphasize cardio
exercises with a bit of weight training to strengthen your body for more
cardio. Jogging, swimming, cycling, and high-intensity interval training, or HIIT, are
the main exercises for weight loss. In a
typical 4 to 60-minute routine, 30 minutes should be devoted to cardio.
Bodybuilding: Bulking up, or the bodybuilder’s routine
requires more weight training and isolation over compound movements. These exercises build up muscles more than
stamina. The ideal schedule is to work a
pair of muscle groups a day, with a rest day in between for a bit of
cardio.
Sports: For athletes, combining both strength
training and HIIT works best. This not
only boosts endurance and stamina, but it also strengthens muscles and pushes
one’s heart rate to the limit, to prepare him for competition.
