Planning your workouts is the KEY to sucess
Do you know what your workout plan is when you walk in the gym?
Planning out your workout before getting to the gym helps you stay on track toward your workout goals. Just like how you plan your important projects out at work, planning out exactly what you are going to do keeps you accountable for your actions. It also gives you a sense of direction. Chances are, you have gone to the gym to work out, and once you get there, you don’t really know what you want to do. So you do a few sets on a few machines, maybe do some cardio, and head home after an “ok” workout.
My advice is to plan out exactly what you are there to accomplish.
Are you targeting legs today? How are you splitting up body parts? Are you planning to focus on a particular muscle group? Or are you focused on functional training? Are you trying to get sixpack abs? And what exercise/machines did you want to use?
I usually recommend beginners to start at 3-5 machines per body part when they are starting out. If you have been working out for a while, I would recommend doing 4-6 exercise/machines. And how many times (reps) per machines? For most people, 12-15 reps per exercise is ideal. Next time you are planning to work out, write down your work out plan and take it with you. You will be surprised by how much more productive you are!
If you are looking to get faster results, whether it is to lose weight or get more toned, having a proper nutrition program is just as important as workout out. In fact, you can lose the fat in half the time if you have a diet plan (and by diet, I do not mean starve yourself) in place. It will allow you to see the results from the gym faster, as well as getting your body into the OPTIMAL FAT BURNING PHASE.
