Bodybuilding Workout for Beginners

26 Jun, 2009  |  Written by Sudheer Vattikuti  |  under Uncategorized

This is for all of the beginners out there who want to get started in bodybuilding or just want to start getting in shape. Every beginner should know about what to eat, what to do in the gym, how much to eat, what supplements to buy. For a beginner, it is very important that you execute correct form for all exercises. This means using light weight for many reps so that you will have enough practice at the movement. Once you have become familiarized with the exercises, you can begin modifying them in such a way that you can hit the target muscle with more accuracy and precision. However, I urge that you perform all movements with strict form and light weight for the first month. Secondly, be sure that you properly warm-up and thoroughly stretch before grabbing a weight. I recommend a 5 minute warm-up on the stationary bike or on the treadmill followed by stretching for about 5 more minutes.

Proper diet is as important as your workouts. Make sure that you include adequate amounts of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in your meal. You  should take smaller and frequent meals throughout the day instead of three large and infrequent ones. Why? Because when you feed your body several times a day, your metabolism increases. Therefore, you burn more fat. The ratio of your meal should look like the following:
40% Carbohydrates
40% Protein
20% Fats

However, I will list good sources of each carbohydrates: all vegetables and fruits, pasta, rice, bread (nonwhite, gluten-free), oatmeal (the real stuff, not the instant packets with loads of sugar),

Protein: all lean meats including: skim milk, baked chicken, baked fish, lean steak, eggs, soy, and turkey.

Fats: olive oil, peanut oil, nuts, avocados, salad dressings, and cottage cheese.

As a beginner make sure you work out 3 days per week
