Whens the best time to hit up the gym?
Many people tend to ask the question, when is the best time to go to the gym ? Some prefer going in the morning, while others are mid-afternoon goers. To best honest, it doesn't really matter when you go, as long as you find a schedule that works best for you. Some people have set schedules and only workout in the morning, while others may have to adjust differently and go early in one day, and later in the afternoon on other days. Try to avoid working out before going to sleep, because your body will not be able to recover as fast the next day.
Just remember to eat accordingly, a pre-workout meal around 1-2 hours before, and a post-workout meal generally 15-30 minutes after your workout. Pre-workout meals may consist of healthy fruits such as apples or oranges, or small snacks such as whole gain bars, yogurt,and a banana. Post-workout meals may consist of a protein shake,, turkey sandwich, or simply just a chocolate milk drink. The idea of consuming food before is to receive glycogen in your body so you can use as energy. Consuming after your workout is to replenish glycogen in your body and help repair muscles faster.
Many people get the idea that going for a run early in the morning BEFORE eating breakfast is going to shed those extra fat faster, but sad to say that's a general misconception. Your muscle fuel are run by glycogen, a carbohydrate derivative. This means that you will not be able to sustain any intense workouts simply with fat reserve in your body. You should be eating a healthy breakfast so your body will convert glycogen to energy in your body so you will perform at a much better rate. The more athletic and fit you are, the faster your body is able to convert fat to energy. So find a schedule that works best for you, stick to it, and most importantly, dont skip breakfast !

Squat those legs !
Add caption |
Lets face it, whenever you go to the gym, you rarely see people go to the squat rack to squat. Instead, you see these newbie gym goers doing bicep curls with the barbell. What the hell is up with that? Same goes with people you see at the gym who have broad upper bodies, but when you look at your lower body, it looks like a stick, or what others refer as "chicken legs". These are people who just want to impress their ladies with their arms and chest. But if you leave out your legs, not only is it going to imbalance your body, it will also affect your performance.For example, a line back football player would need to work on leg exercises to improve their driving force from their legs to push themselves against their opponents faster. Muscle disproportion is never a good sign for your body, and this will happen if you do not evenly workout a specific muscle group, not strictly speaking to leg muscles. So remember, if you want results faster , incorporate squat to your leg exercises, you surely will not be disappointed.
