Bodybuilding Making Time For The Gym
You want to become a bodybuilder, but you have little or no time for the gym. After all, bodybuilding probably won't pay the bills at least not until you start winning some competitions and you have to work or go to school. You may also have a family that requires your time and attention, and of course, there are other interests in your life as well. So, how can you find the time to become a bodybuilder?
Well, first, look at your schedule. Is it possible that you can stop by the gym for an hour either before work or after work? What few people realize is that to build muscle, you don't have to spend an exorbitant amount of time in the gym.
In fact, there are those who believe you can workout for as little as nine minutes with weights, and 30 minutes on cardio, and do just fine. That's approximately 39 minutes of the 24-hour day that you have. Most people can find that amount of time if they want it bad enough.
Consider your lunch hour. Is there a gym close to your work or school? If you could get to the gym five minutes into your lunch hour, work out for 45 minutes, take five minutes to clean up, and then five minutes to get back to your job or school, this could be a solution for you. Even a 30- or 40-minute workout would be better than no workout at all.
Is the drive to and from the gym taking too long? Set up a home gym. All you need is some space a dumbbell set, a barbell, and a weight set. A bench and an exercise ball, as well as a chinup bar, would complete your home gym nicely. A home gym would also make your scheduling more flexible. You could work out after the kids go to bed, when nothing else is requiring your time or attention.
When it comes down to it, it really is just a matter of scheduling your time properly. Be aware, however, that time must also be spent making sure that you eat properly. Most bodybuilders eat approximately six times each day, and you will need to do the same. If you work or attend school, this may take some thought.
BONUS : Bodybuilding - Overtraining
You spend hours each day in the gym. In fact, you spend every available minute in the gym lifting weights. You are totally devoted. You eat right. You sleep right. You aren't getting any results. How is it that you are not getting results with this level of devotion? It's simple, you are overtraining.
Many don't believe it, but you can actually achieve your goal by going to the gym three times a week, and doing the right exercises for about three minutes each time. Think about this: It takes approximately ten seconds to do ten reps of chest presses. If you do just three sets, you have worked those chest muscles for approximately 30 seconds. That isn't much time.
What does this mean? Instead of counting sets and reps, watch the clock. Do the exercise regardless of what it is for about a minute and a half. Then, move on to the next muscle group. However, between exercising muscle groups, make sure that you rest for about two minutes.
What many people don't realize is that the size of the muscle does not come from actually lifting the weight or working the muscle. It comes from resting a muscle that has been worked. Once you've stimulated the muscle with exercise the muscle then rests and repairs, and grows bigger while doing this.
Furthermore, you must supplement your weight training with aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise is typically associated with losing weight, which is not something that most bodybuilders want to do. However, it does aid in stimulating the muscles as well, and it keeps the fat off and helps to keep your heart strong. You should participate in 30 minutes of aerobic exercise at least three times a week.
Now, instead of spending hours and hours in the gym, you can spend approximately three minutes per day, three times a week in the gym, and 30 minutes three times a week with a good aerobic workout. Total time spent: 99 minutes per week! You will not only see better results sooner, you won't have to worry about overtraining either.
