Workout Routine: Superset workout

Here's a fullbody workout that applies the technique of supersetting.  You want to perform the two exercises immediately after one another.  The idea is to hit the muscles hard with two exercises and higher repetitions. 
i.e.  You would do the bench press, then the chest flys back to back, then take a 60 second rest and repeat.
It's a great way to add a change to your daily workout.

Bench Press - 3 sets of 10 reps

Chest Flys - 3 sets of 10 reps

Lat Pulls - 3 sets of 10 reps

Seated Rows - 3 sets of 10 reps

Squats - 3 sets of 10 reps

Lunges - 3 sets of 10 reps

Deadlifts - 3 sets of 10 reps

Hyperextensions - 3 sets of 10 reps

Crunches - 3 sets of 10 reps

Decline Situps - 3 sets of 10 reps

Note: anyone engaging in exercise for the first time should first consult a physician.  Also, to ensure good form please consult with an experienced professional or personal trainer. As well, please use a spotter as an additional safety factor.  Always warm up before workouts and stretch after workouts.



Healthy Tips: Increase your Metabolism

Metabolism: how your body breaks down nutrients to sustain life.  It’s an important factor when trying to lose weight or trim down.  There are a few methods that can help you naturally increase your body’s ability to burn calories, these include:

• Smaller meals more often – eat a small healthy balanced every 2-3 hours, or snack on healthy foods such as vegetables and fruit regularly
• Increase your lean muscle mass – you can achieve this by doing more resistance training. In essence, using some form of resistance, be it exercise bands, weights, medicine balls, kettlebells, etc.  Try one of my workouts http://www.fitnutblog.com/search/label/Workouts
• Eating Breakfast – kick start your metabolism early, so you don’t extend the starvation from sleep any longer then required

Your metabolism is like a fireplace, it’s constantly burning calories to keep you active.  Your lean muscle mass acts as logs in that fireplace, the more logs (lean muscle mass) you have in the fire, the bigger the fire (metabolic rate) will be and vice versa.  So do your best boy scout impression and try to get that inferno raging inside you.
