Getting Started With a Fitness Regime

To begin training then you need to assess your current condition. If you’re currently overweight you need to be doing large amounts of CV (that’s aerobic exercise such as running or sprinting) and cutting your caloric intake. If you’re currently very thin you need to do the opposite – using fewer repetitions of a heavier weight while increasing the amount of protein you eat (that’s meats and dairy products). You can even take either a protein shake or a weight gainer to supplement your diet. Similarly, to lose weight you need to train more regularly – about five times a week, but to get stronger and larger you need to train more heavily and less often to give your muscles time to recover and build.
