One of the most important things we can do to stay motivated in our muscle building and fitness routine is to keep track of our progress
To get the maximum benefit from your fitness training you should be following a specific program.

You need to determine what you are trying to achieve with your fitness program and then design a course that will deliver the results you are after.

If you have program to follow you will be able to record your progress and make changes as your level of fitness increases.

This is particularly important if you are doing resistance training, as it is difficult to know what changes to make if you don't know what your progress has been.

Recording your progress will also spur you on to better performances.

This helps your subconscious mind to drive you on as you realize the benefits of your training.

Record the number of repetitions that you achieve for each exercise and the weight that you use for each exercise and constantly challenge yourself to do better.

Even increasing weights or repetitions in small increments can add up to some substantial improves in your levels of strength and fitness over time.

Without a record of progress many people tend to continue with the same weights, or the same number of repetitions and wonder why they fail to achieve the levels that they hope for.

If you are training to reshape your body it is also a good idea to record your starting point on film.

Take a photo of yourself before you start your fitness program and at intervals along the way.

It is best to only do this every few months as it can take time to see noticeable changes to your body.

By recording this on film you can look back and the progress that you see visually and this will help to encourage and motivate you to continue with your program.

There is nothing better than visual proof of accomplishment as a motivator.

Do you need a personal trainer to see real Muscle Gains?

Hello to all fitness and bodybuilding trainees.

Should a person have a personal trainer or not to make the gains they are after? This is a question that is asked of me quite often. I have been involved in the area of fitness for over 40 years and wanted to give you some of my observations over the years and the roadblocks to progress that some people may encounter.

A common practice that many new trainees will follow when they're interested in gaining muscle size would be to copy one of routines that is found in the numerous bodybuilding publications available. Now I have to tell you that these routines may work for some of the more genetically gifted, but the average person will have a hard time getting any benefit at all. The reason is that most of these programs will put the average person in an over-trained state.

If you are interested in ways to improve performance in one of the sports you're involved in, would you know the proper exercises to perform to make this happen? The same would apply if your goal was to lose some pounds and get more lean and fit. Would you know the proper diet and program to follow?

I have been actively training people with a focus on building muscle and can tell you from personal experience that I had people come to me who have not seen any improvement for as long as they could remember. After being put on a proper system of training, they got more muscle gain than they had seen in years.

So, I would say that if you really know how to go about getting the results you are after, keep training and always try to stay current with new training techniques and systems. If you are not sure, it would be a thought to work with a trainer to get familiar with the proper systems and diets to follow or take a look at some of the really good on-line courses that may save you years of wasted effort.One of the top
ones out there that I looked at and was impressed is this program It has all the information and support
to get you on the path to a better body.
In Fitness,
Bill
