Ever taken a look round your gymnasium to see what the people around you do?
Do you question if the workout they are doing will help you get to your own physical goals quicker?
Those are a couple of questions to contemplate as you continue to read this, but the fact of the situation is there is a 'better ' lift to do than most of the lifts that you see folks performing at your gymnasium.
As an example, today a couple in my own gym took it on themselves to do a variety 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 handy 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 quantity of work done equals the force times the distance that you are moving that force and the amount of times that you're moving that force. For instance, if you were to use 30-pound dumbbells you may move that weight a total of 3 inches maximum. The trapezius muscles aren't that big thus don't have the range the bigger muscle groups do.
So that 30-pound weight moved 3 inches, ten times, gives us a considerable number of 900. The unit of measure at about that point is irrelevant.
Now lets look at an alternative exercise, the military press. This exercising is done with an Olympic bar pressing it from about your chin all of the way above your head until your arms about fully 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 24 inches or even more depending on your size, and that was done for a sum total of 10 repetitions. So 45-pounds, times 24-inches, times ten repetitions gives us a bunch of 10,800- again the unit of measure is irrelevant. It only becomes important if we were to work out that number into calories burned.
On the surface, doing the army press was twelve times more effective than doing a dumbbell shrug, and that was with only the 45-pound bar.
This is only one example of a method to see if you are getting the best out of your exercise session. Many of us 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 will give you the bang for you buck.
