--- Gymunity gives you the template for customizing safe,
balanced workout programs. Simply plug in the exercises that
best fit your goals and update the template regularly. Following
are the basic guidelines for getting the most out of each workout
-- from strength programs to endurance work outs, here is what you
need to know. · Work the Larger muscle groups before Smaller muscle
groups. This simple rule of thumb helps lessens the risk of injury.
o Large muscles include pectoralis major, hamstrings, quadriceps,
latissimus dorsi etc.. o Small muscles include biceps, abductors
and adductors, anterior and posterior deltoids etc.. · Work
Multi-joint exercises before single joint ones so you don’t fatigue
your muscles right from the start. o Multi-joint exercises use more
energy to complete because they work more muscles and therefore
burn more calories. An example is doing squats before a knee
extension. · Plan Bilateral exercises before Unilateral ones.
Bilateral movements mean both sides are doing the same motion while
Unilateral exercises simply means one side of the body is doing the
movement or the exercise. o Examples of Bilateral exercises are
squats, dead lifts, bench press, pull ups etc o Unilateral movement
examples are Step ups, lunges, One arm dumbbell chest press etc.. A
few other training tips to keep your body balanced and performing
at peak capacity. Focus on: · flexion and extension of joints ·
push muscles and pull muscles · upper body and lower body · planes
of motion (sagittal , transverse and frontal)
