Have you ever taken a look round your gym to see what the people around you are doing?
Do you wonder if the workout they do will help you get to your own physical goals quicker?
Those are a number of questions to contemplate as you continue reading this, but the fact is there is almost always a 'better ' lift to do than the majority of the lifts that you see folks performing at your gym.
For instance, today a pair 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 assumed.
Their workout began with some dumbbell shoulder shrugs. That exercise targets the trapezius muscles that, if large enough, might make you look like you have no neck.
On the surface of things that would appear to be a healthy exercise to do, but if you dig slightly deeper you will 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 amount of work done equals the force times the distance you are moving that force and the quantity of times that you're moving that force. For instance, if you were going to use 30-pound dumbbells you could move that weight an overall total of 3 inches maximum. The trapezius muscles aren't that big therefore do not have the range the bigger muscle groupings do.
So that 30-pound weight moved 3 inches, ten times, gives us a bunch of 9 hundred. The unit of measure at this point is unimportant.
Now lets take 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 until your arms about fully extended.
For this exercise we only utilised the weight of the bar which is 45-pounds. If you make the motion as if you were performing the exercise you may notice that the distance that bar is going to travel is around 24 inches or more dependent on your size, and it was done for a total of 10 repetitions. So 45-pounds, times 24-inches, times 10 repetitions gives us a bunch of 10,800- again the unit of measure is irrelevant. It only becomes important if we were to calculate 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 one example of a way to see if you're getting the most out of your exercise session. Many people are insensible to a few of the exercises that they opt to do and just do anything that comes to mind. You only have so much energy when you hit the gymnasium floor, make it count and put it towards exercises that may give you the bang for you buck.
