Have you ever taken a look around your gym to see what the people around you are doing?
Do you question if the workout they are doing will help you get to your own physical goals quicker?
Those are a small number of inquiries to ponder as you keep reading this, but the fact is there is a 'better ' lift to do than most of the lifts that you see folk performing at your gym.
For instance, today a couple in my gym took it upon themselves to do a variety of exercises working their body from head to toe, or that's what they believed.
Their workout commenced with some dumbbell shoulder shrugs. That exercise targets the trapezius muscles that, if massive enough, might make you appear as if you've got no neck.
On the surface of things that would seem to be a healthy exercise to do, but if you dig a little deeper you'll 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 amount of work done is the same as the force times the distance you are moving that force and the quantity of times you are moving that force. As an example, if you were to use 30-pound dumbbells you may move that weight an overall total of 3 inches maximum. The trapezius muscles aren't that large so don't have the range that the bigger muscles do.
So that 30-pound weight moved 3 inches, ten times, gives us a number of 900. The unit of measure at about that point is irrelevant.
Now let's have a look at an alternative exercise, the army press. This exercise is done with an Olympic bar pressing it from about your jaw all the way above your head until your arms about absolutely extended.
For this exercise we only employed the weight of the bar which is 45-pounds. If you make the motion as if you were performing the exercise you may notice the distance that bar is going to go is around 24 inches or more dependent on your size, and that was done for a total of ten repetitions. So 45-pounds, times 24-inches, times ten repetitions gives us several 10,800- again the unit of measure is irrelevant. It only becomes important if we were to calculate that number into calories burned.
On the surface, doing the army press was 12 times more effective than doing a dumbbell shrug, and that was with only the 45-pound bar.
This is just one example of a method to see if you're getting the most out of your workout session. Many people are unconcerned to a few of the exercises that they decide to do and just do anything that is evoked. 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.
