Know Your Metabolism!

Strangely, we tend to believe that working out every part of the body is better than individually working out different parts of the body everyday.  In reality, doing this doesn't make much of an impact at all.   We have to allow time for our muscles to heal before we work them again.  A good way to take advantage of a workout is by working your arms Monday, your legs on Tuesday, abs on Wednesday, and so on.  The next day, those muscles should be sore because they will tear but allowing time for them to heal and not allowing your body to get used to the same workout every single day.  Before you workout, you should have some goals in mind.  Always start of with weight lifting and conditioning and then move onto cardio.  Starting off with weights and moving to card (treadmill, bikes, etc.) force your body to burn fat faster.  Also, make sure you do not take too long of breaks in between.  It is important to take water breaks and catch your breath but maintain a high heartbeat.  Lastly, don't push yourself too hard.  It is better to sprint for five minutes and walk for three than it is to hurt yourself trying to run for ten at a lower speed. after your workout, snack on a banana with peanut butter or a protein shake to keep those muscles healthy.  Of course, eating healthier is more important than working out because it is about 70% responsible for the results of a diet.

  1. I think I got a little bit lost on the first sentence. I don't know if that's what you meant to say, but you're drawing a comparison between working out different parts of the body on one day, or dividing days to different parts (which is what I think you meant). Maybe rephrase? If readers spend too much time trying to decipher a meaning, they could get discouraged from reading further.

    Can you provide any personal examples, links to videos or expert opinion, etc.? Add some depth to the basic data here with supplemental, supporting information. That will certainly help readers engage.
