Easy Exercise Plans For Maximum Fat Loss

Easy Exercise Plans For Consistent Fat Loss And Muscle Gain

Create your own exercise plans using home gym equipment or simply follow these exercise guidelines.

Everyone at one time or another in life wants to lose weight or build muscle. Sometimes both.

There are so many exercise routines out there that it's no wonder people's heads spin. It's a case of information overload.

Do all the exercise plans or routines work? Well, that's a good question we'll address below. Because all routines will work. Let's take a look at what work's and why.

From all the fitness equipment gadgets to the next greatest toning exercise, who can sift through all the hype to get to the real truth? Let me tell you right now that almost all you see on TV or in magazines are hype. When it comes to those advertisements promoting exercising, losing weight or gaining muscle, they're selling you what you want to hear. Do very little and get out of this world results...HYPE! Don't buy into it.

You have to remember that magazines are in the business of selling magazines. It's to their benefit to keep you buying. You wouldn't continue buying if the magazines gave you the real truth and you achieved all your results. They're setting you up for failure so you'll return next month. Ponder that for a second.

Here's the most important bit of info you need to take to heart. It's this...

"All exercise plans/routines work, but only temporarily."

You see…any new fitness or exercise routine will work because your body's unfamiliar with it. The longer you perform the same workout, the less results you'll get from that workout.

Progressive exercise is mandatory if you're trying to get results from an exercise routine. Small increases in what you're performing will lead to continued improvement over time. Continually keep your body getting used to something new.

Stick with your basic exercise plans until you don't seem to be making progress any longer. Then it's time to make some small changes to your workout. Make sure you adhere to making your exercise progressive. Here's an example:

Monday

Treadmill

30 Minutes

Level 3

Tuesday

Treadmill

30 Minutes

Level 3.2

Wednesday

Treadmill

30 Minutes

Level 3.5

As you can see, the levels increased each time. Now it doesn't have to be a harder level. It could be a higher incline, level, speed, resistance (when weight training) or something else. Some form of small increase in difficulty.

A good way to keep your exercise plans progressing is to continually try to complete your workout in a shorter period of time. Keep in mind your exercise plans don't have to be complicated. They do have to be progressive though!
