Quite a few college students and young men who make a practice of drinking nights and weekends do not understand why their muscle building work out routine is not working. The problem is caused by the fact that alcohol ultimately dehydrates the body.

1. Don’t jump too high off the ground. One of the biggest mistakes people make is trying to soar as high as they can on every jump. This is counterproductive and will tire you out quickly. You should be on the balls of your feet, twirling the rope quickly, while only getting an inch or two off the ground.

This means it will be much easier next time to pop right back on that piece of fitness equipment and start exercising again.

Second, you need to measure your progress. Many machines have their own measurement gadgets, and these can be beneficial. However, I’ve found that it is better to keep a journal. I think that writing it down by hand makes it seem more real to me. Also, it’s simply easier for me to track my results. Plus, I can set my own indicators of progress instead of … Read the rest
