3 Sure Fire Muscle Building Tips

3 Sure Fire Muscle Building Tips

By:


You can find millions and millions and millions of terms on the subject of reducing fat and building muscle. Body building techniques have been around for quite a lot of centuries now. "Exercise," however is the primary thing in all the muscle development programs.

But the fact is that just any old exercise isn't going to build muscle.

Cardio is exercise that is designed to increase endurance and improve the cardio system function. But cardio exercise is NOT designed to build or develop muscle.

Cardio exercises come in many forms: Walking, running, jogging and cycling are all cardio - so are aerobic exercise classes and programs. treadmills, stair-steppers, and ski simulators are good examples of exercise machines for the purpose of cardio exercise.

It's highly recommended that people of all ages and both sexes engage in aerobic exercise to encourage good heart health. BUT the purpose of cardio exercise in NOT to build muscle!

Weight training exercises are what you need to build muscle. Weight lifting is one example, but it isn't the only option. Squats, push-ups, chin-ups and dips are also weight training exercise. Body weight is the weight that is being lifted, and a wide variety of muscles are used to lift and move the weight.

Here are three PROVEN weight training tips that will always help build muscle:

a. Intense Exercise Sessions b. Short Exercise Sessions c. Frequent Exercise Sessions

a. Intense Exercise

It's important that you not start out with a fixed idea of how many reps you are going to do in a set. The idea is not to achieve a number. The idea is to test your body.

Unless you force your body to do as many reps as possible, it will not develop new muscle. If you can do ten, there is no point in stopping at five. Exercise intensely!

b. Short Exercise Sessions

It's better to train intensely for very short periods of time. Your body will get more benefit from short but very intense muscle building exercise sessions than longer periods of not-so-intense sessions.

c. Frequent Exercise Sessions

Your body develops more muscle more quickly if you exercise intensely for fifteen minutes at a time, four times a day, than it will if you exercise not-so-intensely during a one hour session each day. A short work out session done often is a more results generating regimen than infrequent long exercise sessions.

The bottom line here is; work out intensely (do ALL of the reps you can push your body to do of each set), exercise for short periods of time, and exercise often. That's what been verified to build the most muscle as fast as possible.
