Finding Your Balance Is Key

Finding your balance is key

• Personal Goals
• Ability
• Time-Management
• Preferences

1. Personal Goals

Find your personal body goals

-Feel Good

-Look Good

-Muscle Mass

This completely depends on how much you want your dreams/goals to come true. To have your best body is to have a stable mind to motivate you to achieve goals.

2. Ability

Really? Really.

You can ONLY do what you can. Being safe with equipment and having experience before hand is key. Seek a personal trainer or a friend who has been lifting for awhile.

3. Time-Management

Set a schedule that works best with all the time consuming activities in your life. 

I personally like having a hand-held Agenda to keep me on schedule.

4. Muscle Mass

Remember, this takes longer than you may think. You need a lot of weight training as well as a balance of cardio to obtain stronger bigger muscles.

Beginner:

• You have been strength training or exercising for less than a year.
• Squat: 0 -.5x your bodyweight
• Deadlift: 0 -.5x your bodyweight
• Push-ups: 0 – 5
• Chin-ups: 0 – 2

Intermediate:

• You have been strength training or exercising for one to three years.
• Squat: .5x – 1x your bodyweight
• Deadlift: .5 – 1.5x your bodyweight
• Push-ups: 5 – 15
• Chin-ups: 2 – 5

Advanced:

• You have been strength training or exercising for over three years.
• Squat: 1x your bodyweight or more
• Deadlift: 1.5x your bodyweight
• Push-ups: 15+
• Chin-ups: 5+

But remember, if you feel like this is too much or not enough for you, you can always change stats by doing more or less depending on how comfortable you are.
