Should You Be Doing These Workouts??
by Trevor Johnson
Ever taken a look round your gymnasium to see what the people around you are doing?
Do you ponder whether the workout they do will help you reach your own physical goals faster?
Those are a couple of inquiries to contemplate as you keep reading this, but the fact is there is almost always a 'better ' lift to do than most of the lifts that you see folks performing at your gym.
For instance, today a couple in my gymnasium took it on themselves to do a variety of exercises working their body from head to toe, or so they assumed.
Their workout began with some dumbbell shoulder shrugs. That exercise targets the trapezius muscles that, if massive enough, might make you appear as if you have no neck.
On the surface of things that would appear to be a handy exercise to do, but if you dig slightly deeper you will find that exercise does little in the way of helping you burn even the most minute of calories.
Let us look at it mathematically. The quantity of work done is the same as the force times the distance you're moving that force and the quantity of times you are moving that force. As an example, if you were going to use 30-pound dumbbells you could move that weight an overall total of 3 inches maximum. The trapezius muscles are not that large thus do not have the range that the bigger muscle groups do.
So that 30-pound weight moved 3 inches, ten times, gives us a bunch of nine hundred. The unit of measure at this point is irrelevant.
Now let's have a look at an alternative exercise, the military press. This exercise is done with an Olympic bar pressing it from about your chin all the way above your head till your arms about completely extended.
For this exercise we only employed the weight of the bar which is 45-pounds. If you make the motion as if you were performing the exercise you may notice that the distance that bar is going to travel is around twenty-four inches or more depending on your size, which was done for a sum total of ten repetitions. So 45-pounds, times 24-inches, times ten repetitions gives us a number of 10,800- again the unit of measure is irrelevant. It only becomes applicable if we were to work out that number into calories burned.
On the surface, doing the military press was 12 times more effective than doing a dumbbell shrug, and that was with only the 45-pound bar.
This is only one example of a way to see if you are getting the best from your exercise session. Many individuals are oblivious to a few of the exercises that they decide to do and just do anything that suggests itself. You only have so much energy when you hit the gym floor, make it count and put it towards exercises which will give you the bang for you buck.
