Workout tips

This is an advance post from this one. I added more details.

• Focus on how many calories you are burning out. It's not a myth, we need to pay more attention to the calories and try to find a better balance between our weight and length
• More is better when it comes to working out. Spend at least 3 hours per week at the gym, more walking, take the stairs instead of the elevator, etc..
• Carbs or sports drinks are only ok if you are in a long and intensive training like an athlete. Don't believe what they are saying in magazines and TV ads. Just drink water. You don't need all the extra sugar from sports drinks.
• Not lifting enough or way too much! If you think the weight or the machines aren't appropriate, ask someone to help you find out the suitable weight for you.
• Have a realistic set plan. Go step by step and don't rush your training or set your expectations too high.
• Don't use a whole bunch of gym machines, just because they are there or you have seen someone else using them. Don't forget you have your own goals, and always ask a professional on how to use them correctly, and if it's fine for you.
• Eat healthier foods and eat them on a scheduled time. Also avoid snacks like chips, peanuts, chocolate etc... Exersises will just accelerate your results.
• Keep your main workout short and intense. Never spend more than two minutes between two exersises.
• Keep your workout simple and effective. Just because this machine is harder to use doesn't mean it is better. Focus on movements that count.
• Have an active lifestyle. Go play, run , dance.
• Stop listening to TV ads and magazines. 90% of the time, they are not telling you everything, and their only focus is to make money not to help you.
• Listen to your favorite music while running. It will help you forget the pain and will make you feel more comfortable.
• Think positively and don't stress out when you fail reaching your goals. Learn something and use that bad experience to improve your workout and yourself.
