If you’re just getting started in changing your life for the better especially if you are planning on getting fitter. Then you’ve come to the right post, just a brief introduction I have lifting for almost 10 years and I’ve trained numerous friends, families and people in the gym to help achieve their goals. Here, at Prodex we focus on selling health products such as Water Lentils Plant-Based Protein but most of the time people are blindly buying health supplements thinking that it would do them good without even a proper plan in achieving that.
Supplements are tools for you to achieve your goals but if you don’t know how to use them properly then it’s completely pointless.
The Plan
Let’s just start off by making this as general as possible, I’m assuming someone reading this would be anywhere between 16-40 years old but if you’re outside that range that’s perfectly fine just make sure to consult with your physician before conducting any program. We would be focusing mainly of weighted exercises, building muscles has so many benefits from hormonal regulation to fat burning properties you’ll be a lot more functional as well as feeling healthier.
I’ll start off with a simple strength program:
Strength Program – Men
5 sets x 6 reps – Squats
5 sets x 6 reps – Deadlifts
5 sets x 6 reps – Bench press
Resting 1 minute in between sets
For the abs:
3 sets x 15 reps – Bicycle crunches
3 sets x 15 reps – Leg raises
Rest 20 seconds in between sets
Note that this is just for beginners who are just starting, it is important to focus on compound movements as this will build muscle mass the quickest and will the strengthen the core. Note that you should be lifting till failure each set meaning that on the 6th rep you should not be able to do another repetition.
Apart from this if you want to shed fat then one of the simplest exercises to do is HIIT which stands for High Intensity Interval Training. If you’ve got a treadmill, a bicycle, or just out in an open park what you want to do is sprint for 20 seconds and rest for 40 seconds and repeat these 6 times. This isn’t for the light-hearted so again please check with your doctor or physician before doing this. I found this to be the best fat burner. It’s simple but not the easiest. If you are unable to this then should do some light cardio whilst getting your diet plan in check. My other blog post will be focusing more on that.
Another important thing is that you should always remember to get high quality protein to repair your muscles after your workout. Prodex Water Lentils Plant Protein is 100% natural and plant-based protein powder which has an amino acid profile comparable to whey and quick to take if you’re looking for the healthiest option then look no further and be sure to give it a try. Till next time.
