Your gym session may not be completely perfect for what you are looking to achieve, so we give you some basic tips that can help you get better results. As long as you try your best always, huh.

It is important that you give sports practice the necessary time  each time you train,  without running or racing. That moment is yours and is unique, so try to see it that way always.

Exercise is the perfect space to connect with yourself, so it is essential that you carry out the following tips to get better results. Pay attention!

1. Watch the speed.

It is best to combine an explosive concentric phase and a slow and controlled eccentric phase at least three times greater than the first. Take your time and don't try to do everything fast.

2. And the rest between series?

It is important that your rest be effective.

To increase muscle mass, the recommended optimal rest is approximately 1'30 ”.

3. Check the tense time.

While you exercise, you should be aware of the time in which your muscle is subjected to the tension of the weight you carry.

If you want to develop your muscles, you should strain them for 30 to 45 seconds, but never exceed 60 ”.

4. Beware of training the same muscle group.

Your body needs rest! And for your sessions to be more effective, it is advisable not to train the same muscle group until they have passed (at least) 48 hours minimum.

5. Rest.

It's basic! You should sleep 7 to 8 hours, in addition to following a balanced diet.

6. Attention with your training load.

You need to perform three to four sets with 6 to 12 repetitions, depending on the muscle group you are working on.
