A Workout For You - Whatever the Occasion - No Excuses

1. Set yourself a goal
Are you doing the right workouts? Do you know how to apply the right workouts to your goal? Will you actually know when you have reached your goal? Do you even have a goal? Setting a goal is the single most important thing you must do before you start any project or regime including working out to get fit. In fact it's the first thing you need to do before you even change into your gym clothes. Could you ever imagine leaving your house on a journey and having no idea where you are traveling to? Exactly, as soon as you get to the airport, bus station or railway station, you will have your first dilemma. Where am I going? If you adopt this lax approach then you will end up going around in circles and never actually achieve anything.

2. Plan your fitness journey
Working out and getting fit should be treated in exactly the same way as any other journey or project. You must decide on your destination before you decide on what workout and exercise you are going to do. It might not be your final destination, but it's the first step in the process. Imagine if you were going on a round the world trip. What would be the first place you would visit? Then what would be the second and so on. Now you are beginning to build a plan with a goal to circumnavigate the globe and visit all the interesting places along the way. This will be a great goal with a purpose and also a fantastic achievement. Reaching your fitness goals should also be a fantastic achievement, so you really want to put the effort into creating a plan that will guarantee results.

3. Make your dreams count - Reality starts here
Here are a few examples. Most people who go to the gym are looking to change something about their physical appearance, by either building themselves up or losing weight in the form of body fat. There are other examples of course, like training for a particular event or improving fitness for medical reasons, but that's another blog topic and outside the scope of this one.

4. Exercise and Workouts
An exercise is described as an activity that exerts your muscles in various ways to keep fit. Exercise can consist of resistance training for muscle strength and endurance or cardiovascular training for the heart, lungs and circulatory system. Both are extremely important. Exercise can also be used to improve flexibility, balance and coordination.

A workout is a combination of exercises put together in a certain sequence to challenge certain parts of the body either in split routines or the whole body in one routine. The way in which a workout is applied can determine what effect is has on your body. Variables such as workout frequency, intensity, volume, number of sets, number of repetitions, rest etc. This will have a great affect on your results. All our workouts are put together to allow you to adjust them to your own requirements. We will have the necessary information on our site to help you to do this so you will achieve your ultimate goal whatever it may be.

5. Are you putting the effort in?
It's not necessarily what you do in the gym that counts but how you apply it. Basically we can all do the same exercises and workouts, but it's how you implement these workouts and exercises into your plan that will determine if you reach your goal or not. These workouts are designed specifically around these goals. But in order to progress and succeed you have to workout at a certain level and intensity. And you have to be committed. Failure to do this will not get you anywhere, so it's important that you find the exercises and workouts you do are challenging enough but not impossible so that you don't become de-motivated. You should actually feel that you have had a workout; if not then it's probably not working and will never work. Of course, your eating habits also play a big part in whether you will achieve a fat loss or muscle gain goal and it's important to factor this into your schedule if you are serious about getting where you want to be.

6. I don't have the time or money for a gym membership
Having said all that, even if you can't make it to the gym because of time constraints or your working away from home, you don't have a gym membership or you just don't like gyms, then use a Home Workouts that you can do almost anywhere with the minimum amount of equipment and space.
