Everyone who is looking to get ripped could use a guide to help them along the way. This summer, The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) released recommendations for exercise that deal with the age old question on quality versus quantity. The Washington Post published an article on exercise tips using the suggestions made in the ACSM report.
First, weightlifting is key to preventing age-related bone loss, so if your time at the gym is limited, then prioritize your time with the weights. Secondly, try to spread out your exercise routine throughout the week rather than trying to squeeze everything in on Saturday and Sunday.
The Washington Post added that the ACSM recommends switching up your routine to keep things interesting and exercise different parts of the body. Along with your regular gym time, try out some classes such as Pilates and yoga.
One thing the ACSM is sure of is that exercise is important.
"The scientific evidence we reviewed is indisputable," said Carol Ewing Garber, Ph.D., researcher on the ACSM report. "When it comes to exercise, the benefits far outweigh the risks. A program of regular exercise - beyond activities of daily living - is essential for most adults."
