Workout Routines To Gain Muscle Mass
Someone recently asked me what I thought was THE most important factor in their workout routines. They wanted to know if it was cardio, weight training, or proper nutrition.
I think my answer may have puzzled him a bit because I said it was none of those.
I told him that there was a more important factor in his workout routines that came before any of those he mentioned.
I told him it was his attitude that determined his fitness levels and what type of conditioning he'll achieve.
Proper nutrition, supplements, cardio exercise, and weight training are all important factors, but it's your attitude that determines how hard you focus on each of those areas in your workout routines.
You either have a positive view, or slant on things, or a negative view. This attitude shines through in all that you do, including in your workout routines.
If you generally have a good, positive attitude towards fitness, you're going to approach working out with more intensity and more meaning.
You realize that in order to achieve and maintain a certain level of conditioning, you have to "pay the price" and put in some hard work. Working out doesn't seem to be a "chore" with a positive attitude.
You look forward to it and feel positive knowing that the steps you take in your workout program will bring you closer to the body that you want.
On the other hand, if you approach working out with more of a "negative attitude" you're either going to:
1. Do nothing at all as far as working out and eating healthy because it all seems like so much hard work to get in shape.
2. You're going to do the bare minimum when it comes to working out and watching what you eat.
With a negative mindset, you're maybe going to go to the gym once in a while, but once there, not give it your 100% all.
When it comes time to eat healthy, you're not going to be quite as strict as you should be and you are going to give in to "instant pleasure" when the long term rewards seem so distant and far away.
So be more aware of your mindset and attitude when it comes to your workout routines and getting fit. Your attitude really does determine how well you do the things that matter. People with good, healthy attitudes are more likely to achieve more results from their workout programs.
If you approach bodybuilding with a positive attitude, you ARE going to take the necessary steps to get in shape, even when it would be so much easier to stay in and watch TV.
On the flip side, approach your workout routines and nutrition with a negative mindset and you're setting yourself up for failure. You're going to always feel like a victim, like things are "owed" to you and you're not going to work as hard.
So be more positive in all areas of your workout routines and you'll get the body you want much, much faster.
