Working Out The Bigger Muscles First

Image
There is no one workout that fits everyone.  In the past, I used to try certain workout programs that I had seen in magazines.  Some were too extreme, others were uninspiring, and still, others weren’t designed for the desired fitness goals.  While they may have worked to some extent had I stuck with them, they may not have helped me to reach the desired result.  In those moments, it was more about some of the principles applied to designing those workouts that I, and others, have had to take away and adjust to our own needs.  One of those principles is to design your program by working larger muscles, primary muscles, or muscle groups first working your way down to smaller, secondary muscles.  You can do this through a mix of compound exercises, isolation exercises, and single arm/leg exercises. Compound Exercises Compound exercises are simply exercises that incorporate the use of multiple muscle groups at the same time. This is a great way to start yo...

Congratulations! You did it! You have finished one of the most challenging sporting events out there- the marathon. It is grueling for muscles, bones, feet, and even mentally as well. How many times did you want to quit? But you didn’t- and that’s what counts. But now that you’ve finish, what do you do? Immediately after a race it seems we all know the drill: get warm, eat bananas, and possibly later get into an ice bath to reduce swelling. Recovering from running a marathon is an oft forgotten step in the training plan. Without proper recovery, runners increase their chance of injury and could possibly prevent future personal records as well. The inflammation and muscle plains will hover around a recovering body for up to 14 days after a marathon, thus not allowing your muscles to be at full strength for almost two weeks. That means before you jump back into regular training schedule, give your body some time to heal. Some suggestions for a better recovery start with a...
