Ever taken a look around your gymnasium to see what the people around you do?
Do you ponder whether the workout they do will help you reach your own physical goals faster?
Those are a number of inquiries to ponder as you keep reading this, but the fact is there is almost always a 'better ' lift to do than almost all of the lifts that you see people performing at your gymnasium.
As an example, today a couple in my private gymnasium took it upon themselves to do a selection of exercises working their body from top to bottom, or that's what they believed.
Their workout began with some dumbbell shoulder shrugs. That exercise targets the trapezius muscles that, if large enough, might make you appear as if you have no neck.
On the surface of things that would seem to be a good exercise to do, but if you dig a bit deeper you'll find that exercise does little in the way of helping you burn even the most minute of calories.
Let us look at it mathematically. The quantity of work done equals the force times the distance you're moving that force and the quantity of times that you are moving that force. As an example, if you were going to use 30-pound dumbbells you could move that weight a sum total of 3 inches maximum. The trapezius muscles are not that massive so do not have the range that the larger muscle groups do.
So that 30-pound weight moved three inches, ten times, gives us a number of 900. The unit of measure at about that point is unimportant.
Now let's have a look at an alternative exercise, the military press. This exercise is done with an Olympic bar pressing it from about your jaw all of the way above your head till your arms about completely extended.
For this exercise we only used the weight of the bar which is 45-pounds. If you make the motion as if you were performing the exercise you could notice the distance that bar is going to travel is around twenty-four inches or more dependent on your size, which was done for a sum total of ten repetitions. So 45-pounds, times 24-inches, times ten repetitions gives us a bunch of 10,800- again the unit of measure is unimportant. It only becomes important if we were to work out that number into calories burned.
On the surface, doing the army press was 12 times more effective than doing a dumbbell shrug, and that was with only the 45-pound bar.
This is only one example of one way to see if you're getting the most out of your workout session. Many of us are unconcerned to a couple of the exercises that they opt to do and just do anything that suggests itself. You only have so much energy when you hit the gym floor, make it count and put it toward exercises which will give you the bang for you buck.
