Work It and It Will Grow: Building Muscle the Easy Way

By Rudy Longfellow

Our nation is at an imperative spot in life where fitness is not just a choice but a necessity. More and more people are choosing the sedentary lifestyle over the lifestyle of fitness. This is causing our people to become more and more overweight with each passing year. The choice to change that fact is rooted in physical fitness routines and routines that build muscle and thus increase the bodies metabolism naturally.

Very few people actually understand how the body can build muscle. The art of fitness is surrounding in cardio and aerobic exercise and even some of the most avid fitness people have little idea of how the body chooses to build muscle. These rules are simple, but effective.

Get that muscle ready. Stretching is one of the most important parts of a program aimed to build muscle. The muscle will need to be warmed up before it can go through the stages of building. As with any fitness program, stretching requires careful movements that are elongated and held in order to increase the blood flow to the muscle. To build muscle that blood flow is essential and necessary.

Just add water. Water is the most important part of our lives. Drinking water lubricates the joints, keeps the body healthy and increases the overall effect of a fitness routine and a routine to build muscle. The muscle needs water to build and therefore a minimum guideline of 8 glasses of 8 ounces of water per day are recommended. Muscle mags choose higher recommendations on many occasions, up to 1 gallon of water per day or more to build muscle effectively.

Tear the muscle. During a fitness routine to build muscle, the muscles will need to be torn in order to build back stronger and bigger. This is what happens when weights are lifted to the point of failure. Failure is the time when a certain amount of weight can no longer be lifted. Once reached, the muscle has effectively been torn and will begin to repair and build muscle. Stretching after the rip stage can decrease the pain in the muscle.

Healing Time. At least 24 hours are required to build muscle. This means that the same muscle groups of the body should only be worked on alternating days with one day of rest in between. On the off day, the fitness routine can include exercises to build muscle on other parts of the body or cardio. There is no way around the time needed to build muscle, at least 24 hours is REQUIRED, not suggested.

Repeat. The key to fitness programs that build muscle is consistency. The careful pattern of rip and repair needs to be repeated over and over again to keep the muscle building. It can take up to a month to build one pound of muscle, but the time is well worth it. For every pound of muscle built, the body will naturally burn between 30 and 50 additional calories per day.

In order to build muscle, the fitness program must first be set upon the rules of the muscle build. Without the knowledge of how a muscle builds, it is often easy to break these rules and create muscle pain and weakness that essentially dooms the program. Learning how to build muscle sis as easy as following these steps over and over again. - 17274
