A great way to get fit is to post your progress pictures on an online forum such as bodybuilidng.com. Other people will be able to critique how you're doing, and can help steer you in a better direction. Posting pictures is also a great way to get motivation.

 

Add your favorite music to your workout. It has been proven that people who listen to music while working out go faster than those that aren't listening to music. Studies have also shown that people who listen to music while exercising perceive their workouts as being easier to complete.

 

Do not regularly use a weight training belt when lifting weights. With continued, regular use, wearing a weight belt will hinder muscle growth and weaken your lower back and abdominal muscles. Only wear your weight training belt when attempting max lifts such as deadlifts, squats, and overhead presses.

 

It takes the body about a month to adapt to lifestyle changes. That's why it's recommended to stop or start something for 30 days to break or learn a new habit. So if you keep up your work outs for at least a month, you'll be on your way to making a great lifestyle change.

 

Strength training can help you become a faster runner. A recent study showed strengthening exercises helped runners improve their time. Runners who did eight weeks of resistance training were able to shave time off of their run. The stronger you are, the faster you will be able to run.

 

If you are unable to exercise due to time constraints or whatever the reason, try to squeeze in at least 20 minutes of either cardio or strength training, two times a week. Research has shown that those who worked out minimally, used less sick days than those who did not exercise at all.

 

Avoid trying to hack a basketball down when trying to take it from an opponent to avoid a foul. Instead try flipping the ball upward from underneath. This is more of a subtle, yet surprising technique that your opponent will most likely not see coming. It's also much easier to grab it from a height than from the ground.

 

Your workouts should be under an hour if you are trying to grow muscle. If you exercise for over an hour, your body will produce more cortisol, a stress hormone, that can result in testosterone-blocking effect. It will also waste your muscle. The best way to avoid this is having short weight workouts.

 

As you can see with these tips, fitness can be fun. Do not make it an obligation: make it something you enjoy doing. Learn as much as possible about fitness to find out which exercises are the most efficient and to find new ways to get motivated. Adopt fitness as a part of your lifestyle.
