Train
for Success in Body Building Training
for success in body building involves these three extremely important
principles - frequency, duration and intensity. Put regularity with these
three principles and you get: Regularity = frequency + duration +
intensity. You
already have Frequency. It's
the schedule of Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You may change it, but
always skip one day. Duration
depends on the number of sets and repetitions you are doing and whether
you are training to be a powerlifter or bodybuilder. Powerlifters and
Olympic lifters take about 5 minutes rest between sets, while in body
building about one minute rest is taken. Intensity
is the amount of effort you put into your training. Simply put; the more
effort you put, the more muscle growth you get. But I must caution you
that excessive effort leads to muscle fatigue/burnout, so occassionally
aim for high intensity, sustain it for a while and then reduce to a lower
level. In this way you trick your muscles into responding with new growth.
When you maintain the same level of effort for a long period of time,
muscular growth reaches an equilibrium and goes to sleep. You have to
change your schedule and intensity and 'presto' your muscles are
reactivated and new growth starts. Fitness
is too often associated with losing weight. You can lose weight and still
not be fit. It depends on what methods you use to lose weight. Too often
women choose a quick-fix diet. You will not attain long lasting health and
fitness by simply dieting, but you could damage your overall health that
way. Long lasting women's fitness must incorporate a nutrition program and
an exercise program. It's the only way to flatten fat and achieve genuine

trends of society to rub you of such life's pleasures? Yes, society! -

danger of dieting is you lose muscle and bone density decreases. Cardiovascular

physical activities conducted by an instructor and usually accompanied by
music. If
