I know how it feels when you click on a recipe that looks delicious, but you need 28 different ingredients, 6-8 hours, and a strange kitchen gadget that you’ve never heard of.
It’s how it feels when you decide to get fit.
I just start racing sneakers, but I think magazines, message boards, friends and trainers are attacking heart rate zones and training tips on cardio and weightlifting, and aggressive sounds called HIIT.
Walking around all the information and deciphering facts from fiction is overwhelming, but don’t be discouraged.
You don’t need to be a fitness expert to get results.
Armed with a little basic information, you can quickly begin to see progress.
Read the answers to common questions about workouts and fit. These are some really reliable and validated training tips.

How often do you need to exercise?
Better than nothing, but take at least three times a week and stay active every day (walking, yoga, etc.).
Exercise more frequently can lead to faster results as long as you’re smarter about it.
Once you nail your fitness goals, it’s okay to shrink a bit, but it’s not perfect.
To maintain progress, you need to keep your activity level high.
How long should my training last?
The answer depends entirely on how hard you are trying.
Research shows that 20 minutes of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) alternated between short bursts of intense effort during periods of low-intensity rest, resulting in a similar reduction in body fat as a 40-minute continuous moderate-to-strength exercise.
In short, if you’re someone who can “bring it,” you can cut your training time in half. But don’t have our words about it. Try Transform: 20 and watch it yourself.
When is the best time to work out?
This is easy. The best time to resolve is when you can consistently.
Are there any stressful jobs available? With programs like Morning Meltdown 100, you’ll sweat in the morning before others start asking for your time.
Is lunch often free? Schedule your training at noon.
Do you quit a job that usually requires you to blow steam off? Evening training will probably provide the outlet you need.
Conclusion: There is no best time for everyone, but there is the best time you.
What should I eat before training?
it depends. For light training, you should be able to turn it on without any extra fuel.
But if you keep banging it hard and pounding for a while, eat a healthy snack containing carbohydrates and protein (e.g. apple slices) 1-3 hours before you start.
Also, if you find yourself drugged, pre-workout drinks like Beach Body Performance Energy can help you provide the boost you need to sweat.
Do I need electrolytes while exercising?
Sweat will not only lose water, but also high concentrations of sodium and chloride. Electrolyte drinks are used to replace what you lose.
However, as long as you stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet and exercise within 60 minutes a day, you can probably skip sports drinks.
Kickers are to make sure most people don’t drink enough water all day long and don’t hydrate their workouts well.
So it’s wise to drink water or low-sugar sports drinks like Beachbody Performance Hydrate.
How do I remove the top of my muffin?
Bad news: You can’t spot fat. Good news: muffin tops shrink when you lose all your body fat.
In addition to dialing meals to dial the frequency and intensity of your workout, it will focus on making several other important lifestyle changes that can promote fat loss, such as cutting down enough sleep, increasing levels of daily activities other than training, or reducing overall stress levels.
How much weight should I lift? What if I don’t want to bulge?
Always lift the heaviest weight that can complete the entire workout, not just all sets of a particular exercise.
If you are following a beach body program like Liift4, the weight you use may change from training to workout, depending on your focus (strength, endurance, fat loss, aerobic exercise, etc.).
Also, don’t worry about it bulging, especially if you are a woman.
That shouldn’t even be a concern, as most women don’t have the genetics that make intense “man muscles.”
And most men need to spend years pumping iron to build the kind of physique that will land on bodybuilding and strongman competition (if they were actually genetically predisposed to building such muscles in the first place).
This is about you can Expect a consistent workout: a stronger, lean, clearer version of the body you have now.
I’ve been hurting since my last training. Should I spend my hard, easy, or resting days?
It depends on your level of pain. Resist the urge to sit on the couch if the pain is minimal to moderate, as little movement can promote circulation and reduce recovery time.
Instead, choose a light workout, then stretch or stretch your form roll.
If you are completely stepping into or worried about what you may have pulled your muscles, go ahead and rest. Your body sometimes needs a recovery day (or day).
But we also know this: training should not make you feel pain in spatula. When I felt excessive pain after exercise, I pushed myself too hard. Next time I will dial back the strength.
Also, don’t think more pain equals greater benefits. Pain is a poor indicator of workout quality and effectiveness.
Good things to lose weight – What about aerobic exercise and strength?
Strength training wins against aerobic exercise (think jogging) that is always stable when it comes to reducing pounds. But why choose it when you can choose both?
Recently, many training programs combine strength and aerobic exercise with HIIT.
(You’ll find a wide selection of these workouts on Beach Body On Demand.) Talk about efficiency!
What do you do with your heart rate zone? Which should you aim for?
Elite athletes and endurance runners will closely monitor their heart rate during their training, but don’t worry if they don’t fall into any of these categories.
Go as hard as you can, recover and repeat.
I can’t afford a trainer. What should I do?
This is where you get a sales pitch – but that’s not why it’s not that effective.
If you can’t (or simply don’t want) a personal trainer, sign up for our streaming online workout service.
With Beachbody On Demand, you can access hundreds of training so you can find the perfect workout for your personality, fitness level, time constraints, and your preferred training style (HIIT, weightlifting, dance, etc.).
You will also have access to a free Team Beach Body Coach that will show you the entire community of like-minded people who understand what you are going through.
That last part is important. If you enjoy yourself but don’t see the results, you won’t exercise for a long time, so find programs and groups that will inspire you, then do your best to crush all your training.
