There are many people that want to have the body of a fitness model but would rather not look like a bodybuilding contestant. A nice and fit 'beach body is usually more preferred than those over-prominent muscles or those anorexic stick figure fashion models. The look is usually still muscular but totally not bulky. A body that is still lean but not skinny can actually look quite strong and athletic.
So what exactly are the weight training routines you need to follow to get that lovely body that is 'just right'?
Here are some training tips you can follow:
1. Do complex free weight exercises.
To do this, use dumbbells and barbells. They would require more synchronization, which promotes more muscle growth. You can also build more strength if you choose doing exercises using them.
2. Do cardio exercises that demand high intensity.
You can make it easier for yourself to achieve that god-like body if you do cardiovascular exercise. This is because with this type of exercise, you lower your chance of storing body fat and you also gain more muscles. An example of high intensity cardio would be walking for 2 minutes, jogging for two minutes and then running for two minutes. Repeat this process until you reach twenty minutes.
3. Consume more of lean protein.
Without protein, it would be impossible to grow muscles. Sources of quality protein include beans, seafood, soy and quality dairy products.
4. Eat wholesome foods.
Processed foods make you gain fats. They not only prevent the body from burning fats, they also do not contain the important micronutrients that promote muscle growth.
5. Do your work sets properly.
If you don't want to grow your body thicker where it's not supposed to, make sure you do repetitions that are just enough. Usually if you are using weights and doing reps above 10 and sometimes as high as 25 will do the trick.
