There are a lot of people out there who want to build muscle and burn fat. Who doesn’t right? I mean, we all want to look like our favorite actor or actress, athlete or superhero, physique wise that is.We all know that eating right and getting the optimum amount of rest are necessary but it can be tricky picking the right workout program? Don't worry, below I'll let you in a 2 simple tips to choosing the right program for you. Just ask the following two questions and you’ll be well on your way to finding the right program for you.
1. Do you want to build muscle or burn fat or both?
If you want to build muscle then you’ll want to stick with a program that focuses on a lower repetition and high weight style.If your focus is on burning fat then you are going to want to choose a program that involves high reps and low weights.Finally, if you want to build muscle as well as burn fat then you'll want to shoot for a medium weight and medium rep program.
For example, a building muscle routine would workout a muscle with enough weight that you can only get between 5 and 7 repetitions. A fat burning routine would involve enough weight that allows you to get out 12 to 15 repetitions.Finally, if your focus is to do both congruently then you'll want to choose enough weight to where you can squeeze out 8 to 11 reps.
2. What is your budget like?
The reason I ask this is can you afford to go to a gym? If so, you can follow a muscle building program that utilizes machines and free weights. If not, you’ll need to improvise and focus on other means to stimulate various muscles of your body.You can go military style and do crunches, run, do pull ups or push ups or go to the park and workout there etc… Don’t laugh, this can be a very effective way of achieving your fitness goals.
It’s really pretty simple when you step back and analyze your particular situation. For example, if you want to burn fat but have a limited budget, you can follow a nature program. Go to your neighborhood park and run the trails. Most parks have a workout area as well where you can do pull ups and various stretching exercises. The point is it's easy to design a custom program for yourself when you answer the above questions.
