Fitness tips from a trainer’s point of view

For a fit body and a perfect routine, it is always important to have the right kind of trainer. However, each trainer has got his own perspective of shaping up the body and that depends on each individual’s body shape. And here is one such view from a trainer’s perspective for developing fitness. It is common to take a break for about a minute after a set of exercise.
 
But it is advisable that instead of taking rest, one can couple with exercises useful for other muscles so that time is spent efficiently and more calories are burnt. It also increases the muscle fibre. The other thing is the old school technique which involves ‘chest/shoulder/tricep’ and ‘back/biceps’ routine. This is being deemed as unfit for today’s times and a new routine can be followed.
 
A routine that works for the agonist and antagonist muscles. You could go for a chest/back on day 1, quads/hams on day 2 and biceps/triceps with shoulders on day 3. Another important tip to note is, if you give importance to your wrist, shoulder joints and elbows then you should go for the regular dumbbells than machines. And the same goes for bench press and back row.
 
You could replace that with the Swiss ball. Another important tip to note is, you got to do your abs almost everyday. Doing them at the beginning of your workout is quite effective. Follow up on stuff like mountain climbers, supermans, burpees and do not isolate your abs. Remember that pumping iron for hours together is not advisable. If you are into strength training you should not spend more than 45 minutes to 1 hour.
