Avoid The Injuries When Building Muscle
You may be impatient to get on with building muscle and getting fit, but just take a moment to ensure you are successful by checking your current condition. For instance, you may not have exercised or challenged your muscles for years or you could have a chronic injury. Just because you were an athletic guy or girl during your college years doesn’t mean you can slide straight into a punishing workout program without preparation. If you have not been exercising regularly for around the last 3 months then consider starting out with some simple back to basics exercises. What I mean by “back to basics” is to kick off your fitness routine with simple core strength training via body weight only routines.
To start with, perform around five to eight exercises without weights three times a week for 6 weeks. To maximize your results, ensure you work all the largest muscle structures of your body. Incorporate lunges and squat jumps,push ups,crunches, side and front hovers – add in pull ups when ready. This will prepare your body for the challenges of extra weight bearing that comes with a muscle building program. Your muscles are stressed during exercise and to grow they need the right nutrition and adequate rest.
The following will be achieved if you condition your body prior to a weight training program:
Core Muscles Conditioned Naturally
Lower The Chance of Injury
Save On Gymnasium Membership Fees
Save On Equipment Outlays
Save On Time

Core Muscles Conditioned Naturally
You can begin with body weight only exercises by performing just 5 reps of each initially and throw in one more every second day. After two weeks you will be doing 10 – 15 reps of each. This will condition your body efficiently. Many people commence weight training before their core muscles have even been toned.
Lower The Chance of Injury
When you start weight training you will of course incorporate barbell and dumbbell or machine based resistance exercises. If you prepare your core strength for a few weeks prior you will find less problems with small muscle strains. The idea is to make sure you are able to not only start but maintain regular training. Avoiding injury allows you to consistently workout and achieve your goals.
Save On Gymnasium Membership Fees
All you need is yourself and perhaps a bar to perform chin ups on. When you have transcended vigorous body resistance exercises, you are ready for something a little more challenging. If you lose the motivation to exercise (But you won’t. Right?) then you have not wasted a lot of money on fees. By adhering consistently to a four to six week regime as outlined, you will be exercising your will power as well as your body.
Save On Equipment Outlays
As per the gymnasium fees, instead of racing out and spending up on lots of equipment, test your consistency in performing simple body weight routines first. Don’t confuse a spare room full of weights and machines with getting fit and in shape. It begins in the mind with a promise to yourself to exercise regularly. Forget (just for a few weeks) the props and stick to simple strength training exercises. The “gear” can come later.
Save On Time
You want to get the best return on your time invested. Picture walking into your spare room or back yard and spending twenty to thirty minutes on moderate to vigorous calisthenics. You are wrapped up before you know it , showered and relaxed in under an hour. Not having to travel to and from the gymnasium, waiting for access to equipment or showers means huge time savings per week.
Set Yourself Up For Success
As mentioned earlier, success in a fitness or muscle building program depends more on your attitude than any equipment you may purchase. It is vital that you condition your mind to view what you are doing as a positive and pleasurable activity. You can achieve this by commencing with an easy to do set of body weight routines. Scale up the amount and intensity of exercise and over a short period of time you will be surprised at your results. You will have laid the foundation for the next level of muscle building and fitness.
