Fitness Model Workout Routine

Six pack abs, a lean body, a broad back, and strong muscular arms and legs. What does this description remind you of? A fitness model or a grotesque looking, hulk like bodybuilder? I'm going to go with the fitness model.

Everyone wants a perfectly sculpted body and when we see them on posters and in magazines, for that half an hour that we look and read about them, we have this strong determination to follow a fitness model diet and workout routine so that we too can get ourselves one of those gorgeous bodies.

But then, along comes a bakery with divine looking chocolate doughnuts and our resolve does not stand a chance against the cheerful (extra) sprinkles on it! For all those who think they can brave the temptation, fight the food cravings and do some serious exercise, this FitnessVigil article has a workout routine that fitness models use to maintain their bodies. Read the proceeding segments for it.

Here's a workout routine that you can follow in the initial phase of your exercise regime. It has been recommended by leading fitness clubs and models. You must remember that developing a body like that of a fitness model is not an easy task.

It requires time, stamina, and most important of all, immense determination to follow through with the routine even after you have achieved the goal weight and body that you desired. How else will you maintain your new found fitness, right? So, let's see one of the most widely followed workout routines, shall we?

In the first step for acquiring a body that even remotely resembles that of a fitness model, you need to let go of all the excess fat that is clinging to your body. For that, first you need to follow the following routine, along with the diet mentioned above.

• Indulge in a good warm up that lasts for about 2 minutes.
• Then, for around 10 minutes, give your body a high intensity workout. As recommended in the 'Fitness in Flash' book, this could be a high speed sprint for 15 seconds, followed by a low intensity jog for about 45 seconds.

• Then, you need to get ready for some serious cardio exercises. This should last for at least the better part of half an hour.
• Then, you must indulge in a fast run followed by a slow run, every second minute for a ten minute duration.

After you burn the fat, you enter next phase in which you must begin building muscle without gaining fat. This basically involves weight training so your body builds up on the lean muscle and not the fat. Keep an eye on your diet in this phase as it will affect the time taken to attain the final result. Given here is a good weight training routine to follow.

Well, here was a fitness model workout routine provided just for your ease and convenience. One important point that you must take into consideration is that you must not overdo any exercise. In the beginning, you will find it difficult, so you must stop your reps and sets before you get too tired.

Don't push yourself if you can't. It may lead to fatigue and other problems. Once you get accustomed to the routine, you'll be on your way to the perfect body you always wanted.

Until then, take it easy and pay attention to your body's signs. Also, remember that this is just a basic outline of a routine that you can follow. You may consult a fitness instructor to know how much of what you need to do in order to reach your desired result. The result may vary from person to person, based on the gender, diet, and body constitution.
