Body Perfect Training TipsWritten by Robert Adams
Here are some of important fundamentals of any weight training and overall exercise program that you need to remember when you are focused on developing a Body Perfect Fitness and Health program.Safety First- any weight training has some risk associated with it if you do not practice safe procedures. The following guidelines will help you stay safe and stay free from injury. Warm up and Cool Down- it is very important to get muscles prepared for your work out by getting blood flowing and raising your body temperature which in turn helps your oxygen flow to all of your muscles. It gets you revved up for a great work out and also helps reduce injury. Focus on Form and Proper Technique- I watch so many people in gym everyday that are not using correct form or technique that easily could lead to severe injury. Think Slow and Smooth. Only lift what you are comfortable with and never every sacrifice good technique for trying to muscle a weight that is too heavy for you. More weight doesn't mean more strength and success. If your form and technique is no good then you are wasting each rep and not getting true benefit from it. Keep away from momentum pushes from your body, or arching of back or jerking your head forward in a upward lifting movement. Remember Slow, Smooth and Realistic. What you should DO- Wear proper shoes that provide grip Keep your back straight and stomach tight Always ask for help in spotting for heavy lifts and communicate with spotter exactly how many reps and when you need help. Be aware in weight room and carry weights with care and properly What you shouldn't DO- If you feel pain at any time STOP!!!! Lift only what you feel comfortable with that you can handle with a smooth and non jerky motion with an minimum of 8-12 reps. BREATH!!!!- Do not hold your breath.. Remember to breath out on concentric or muscle shortening phase and breath in on stretching or eccentric phase. Focus on squeezing muscle.

Studies have shown that carrying groceries, doing yard work like cutting grass, and cleaning your house counts as physical activity. So, while you're not exercising per se, you're at least giving your body some physical benefits.
But still you know that this kind of activity isn't going to guarantee a flatter stomach, greater strength, and a longevity boost. So how do find time and energy reach your fitness goals? I have listed my Top Fitness and Health Tips that ANYONE CAN INCORPORATE INTO THEIR LIFESTYLE! 1. Take a picture of yourself and have it "morphed" at a photo shop. Wanna see how you look 10, 20, 30 pounds lighter? Have picture people edit picture in image you like, then take home copies of it and hang them everywhere you can see it. Harness power of visualization.
2. Keep a stack of your favorite magazines that you promise yourself you can read only at gym. If issues start piling up, you know it's time to schedule a workout.
3. Did you know that NOT exercising AT ALL is equivalent to smoking a pack of cigarettes A DAY? (Fear is a good motivator for some.)
4. Your dog. If you want your pooch to enjoy a longer, healthier life, s/he needs to get moving, too. You'll find as both of you get fit, s/he is more enthusiastic, and will give you a challenging workout. If not, YOU give him/her a challenging workout.
5. Work out with your spouse/life partner or personal trainer. Not only does it get both of you healthy and strong, but can also spice up your romantic life.
6. Erase YEARS off your body. Chronologically you may be 40, but with regular, vigorous exercise and healthy nutrition, people are going to do a double-take and think you're in your mid-30. Imagine how awesome you'll feel, when you not only feel younger, but to OTHER people you look younger. Act younger, too.
7.Begin an accomplishments journal. At end of each day, write down what you've accomplished that day to move you closer toward your fitness and/or life goals. DO NOT WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU HAVEN'T ACCOMPLISHED. That doesn't matter. What matters is what you ARE doing; we all need a long-overdue, well-deserved pat on back on a regular basis.
8. Use TV. Here's catch: work out only when your favorite show is on. Or, record your favorite show and work out during that (but don't fast forward through commercials - unless you have consecutive episodes taped). Can help time to fly by faster.
9. Hire a personal trainer or coach. It is proven that having a motivating and positive support system will help you stay with your goals long term. How many times have you started and exercise program and stopped? Remember those New Year’s Resolutions? How many have you kept? Was losing weight or eating healthier part of those resolutions that are now on a shelf collecting dust? Do you have multiple pieces of exercise equipment that you bough on an infomercial late at night that you now hang your clothes on collecting dust? Get Motivated and use a Coach or Personal Trainer to help support you in your life long mission to Permanent Weight Loss and Better overall Body Perfect Fitness and Health.
