® META-NUTRI-FIT

Natural fitness will assist your lifestyle in many ways by maintaining proper health and developing the lean muscle mass you need to perform.
If you are an apprentice to fitness, it would be to your advantage to first, acquire the appropriate physical shape thru nutrition before initiating a fitness program. You need to make certain that your entire body is in proper working order.
Secondary to the gym, Natural Fitness is about proper nutrition. This is a vital aspect of any sport; what you consume will determine your results. "You are what you eat." If you are not putting enough nutrients into your body, you will not build the lean muscle mass you are striving for.
There are many common concerns among beginners. You have probably read fitness magazines and gathered information on getting in shape, but these important facts below should be taken into consideration.
A proper warm-up is a necessity. A warm-up before a workout should be performed on a cardio machine, such as a treadmill or a bike. For better results the warm up should last approximately 20 minutes and should be gradually increase in intensity and then decreased. The point of the warm up is to prepare your body and mind for the hard work ahead.
After completing your warm up, you are ready to begin your lifting. In week one, familiarize yourself with the area and the weights. Engage in 2 sets of 10-12 repetitions with a light weight. Note: the weights may seem too light while you are lifting, but the soreness will surface in a couple of days. Do your workout three times this week, skipping a day in between to recuperate. You can then, begin to increase the weight and begin building from there. These are protocols I use in order to avoid injury and discouragement, which apply to all ages.
