This is continued from part one of this article series. Please read that before you read this article. Start with less weights and go on increasing the weight with each set. 10-15 reps can be considered as one set. Number of reps or repetitions will go on decreasing as number of sets increase. Alternatively you can also try to do more reps with less weights. The effect is nearly the same. Keep a gap of a minute or two between each set so that you have enough time to catch your breath.
Gym clothes are important. You should always wear fresh clothes when you go to the gym. If you have a problem of body odor, use an anti-perspirant or deodrant before exercising. Wear track pants and a sports t-shirt. The material of your clothes must be able to absorb your sweat. Wear a good pair of sports shoes with ankle length socks. Keep a pair of shoes for the gym separate from your daily wear. Consider wearing a head band or arm band if you sweat too much.
Maintain proper hygiene in the gym. Make sure you carry a good clean cloth for cleaning the equipment you use if your gym does not provide wet tissues for the same. You do not want to contract anyone else's skin diseases, do you? Just wipe the equipment once before using if the person before you hasn't. And wipe the equipment where you touch it after working out, so that the person after you feels clean.
You must be regular at the gym to see the effects it can bring about in your body. If you are looking to gain mass or weight, tuck in that tummy, look better and cheerful, the gym is the right place to visit for an hour every day. Gymming can help you gain confidence and also get rid of stress. If you get bored going to the gym all alone, try to find a friend who can be your gym partner. You could also purchase an mp3 player like the ipod shuffle or any flash drive based player and listen to your favorite songs while exercising. Purchase an arm band to accessorise with your mp3 music player. Most of the gyms have television sets on their walls and loud music playing. Some gyms also have quiet sections where one can listen to their own music. Some people manage to catch up on their reading while doing cardio exercises like cycling, cross trainer, etc. Make sure you do the right exercises under the observation of a proper certified trainer. They may charge you initially for the training but it will be worth it in the long run. Also subscribe to some health magazines because those contain lots of tips and latest news. Make sure you have the right diet to complement your gym exercises. Only proper diet can help you achieve your goals with the right exercises. Following all these tips will help you build up a good and healthy body. Good luck.
