Tips on how to do what a lot of people have an issue with, including, but not limited to, pull-ups and push-ups Article Body: This is a rather important post for a lot of you who are just starting out. Workout Tips! Everyone needs these, and I wish I knew these when I was first starting out. Believe me when I say if you follow these tips you’ll see a faster transformation. PULL UPS: Day 1 – 45 of my P90X workout, I could barely bend my arms trying to get up. Day 60 I barely managed to do one. Day 90, I could do 3. Day 190 (So, a couple weeks ago) I get mad at myself if I don’t do 15 reps for every variation. How can I do pull ups better, faster? Easy! Follow this tip. Do as MANY as you can without a chair. Next bring in a chair and do 15 more reps. (I’m crazy, and I’ll do 15 more reps with a chair even if I were to do 20 reps without a chair.) If you would like, there is this really awesome pullup assist that Beachbody has. I wish they had this when I was first starting out. PUSH-UPS: If you struggle with pushup, do I have a tip for you. MODIFY! Get on your knees. Who cares what people think? And if you’re like me, you’re doing a workout at home anyway. So who cares? If you can’t get up, get down! Simple as that. Let’s say you can do push ups all day long. Want something extra? Get some push up bars! I use the Power Stands from Beachbody, but lets say you want to try the Push-Up Stands because they’re cheaper, that’s fine. They work great as well. Let’s say you have Dumbbells and don’t want to buy anything. USE THEM! I used my Bowflex Dumbbells for all of my first round of P90X, and they worked JUST as well as the Power Stands. But now that I have the Power Stands, It’s just easier for me. They’re obviously a lot lighter and I can move them around much easier. Do what works for YOU, not me CARDIO: My nemesis. And I’ve done Martial Arts my entire life. The key here, pace yourself. If you can, get a heart rate monitor and stay within your zone. If you can’t, then just listen to your body. Don’t go and try to kill yourself. Marathon Runners don’t just do that without practice. They start off by running a city block, then a couple, then a mile, and EVENTUALLY get to the point where they can run the full marathon. Take breaks and DRINK WATER!!! That one is important. No soda during a workout. No soda ever, really, but I’ll be honest with you guys and say I enjoy a Dr. Pepper from time to time. BRING IT: Just do what you can. Do you, no more, no less. If you give everything your all, you’ll be fine. Again, younglings, THESE ARE NOT EASY!!! They are intense, they’re meant to be. But you WILL get in the best shape of your life if you bring it. You gotta eat right, do your best, forget the rest, pace yourself, PUSH YOURSELF, (seems counter productive, but you have to find that balance, and eventually your “push yourself” will be a lot more than your “pace yourself”), and just hit play.. best home workout
