Strength Training
strength training?
I am planning to start weight training soon to improve strength and muscle tone, but was wondering if anyone knows other accessories apart from weights to supplement this? Stuff to help with toning the abs and core strength?
Thanks
First of all you need to make sure that your body fat percentage is low enough to be able to see the definition.
I was doing crunches and sit-ups for a long time and didn’t see any improvement – then found that my body fat percentage was too high. It also depends on what extent you wish the definition to be. Bodybuilders have low percentages like 4/5. But if you have around 8 – 10 percent then you should be able to see them.
If it is too high, you’ll need to perform lots of cardio/aerobic exercises and eat healthily as to bring it down.
When it’s at around 8 – 10 percent, weights are probably the best for arm muscle definition.
Then lots of crunches and other anaerobic exercise to define the abs. One of the best pieces of equipment for abs are fitness balls, as they allow the crunches to be much more effective.
Using a combination of the treadmill with weights is fantastic for strengthening both arms and legs, and is also thought to be the best form of Cardio Exercise so I would reccomend (after lowering your bf%) Sit-ups and Crunches for the abs, and the Treadmill combined with weights for everything else.
Good Luck.
