The unbeatable benefits of weight training

Often, different types of athletes can be discovered in the gym. There are once the cardio lovers who can be found on the treadmill or the stationary bike. Then those who like to attend courses and spend their time at Bodystyling, Pilates and Co. And nothing is wrong with that! But the area, which is often done with half will power and has so much to offer, is the targeted muscle growth. Both on devices that train individual muscle groups isolated, as well as more complex exercises, a holistic muscle is sought. Depending on how often you work out during the week, there are different ways of exercising. One day, for example, you concentrate on your legs, the other day on your upper body. Or, you alternate pulling movements in a workout with oppressive executions. The possibilities are almost limitless, but there is no reason to be overwhelmed. Your personal trainer will create the optimal plan for you.

After training is before the training – but what happens in between?

It’s one thing to give full power in training and get it all out. However, it is also important to rest during the training days, because in these breaks, the stressed muscles regenerate. By hypertrophy, ie muscle growth, they are soon ready for the next load fully operational and with an improvement in performance even more than before. Another not to be underestimated role plays, you guessed it already, the diet for achieving your personal goals. But even in this area your personal trainer will assist you with words, motivation and guidance.

With weights or without? It’s all about the mixture!

Studies show that squats and deadlifts with body-adjusted weights stimulate the production of many important hormones. These two exercises are often referred to together with the bench press, as „basic exercises“ of long bar and barbell training. But also functional methods, ie strength training without much additional weight, can be extremely effective. The classic among these „Bodyweight“ exercises are the Burpees – a pushups in combination with a straight jump. They improve the general fitness like hardly any other movement. The most sensible is a combination of different methods that your Personal Trainer London Team will put together.
