Lifting Routine

 It is important to maintain a good schedule for lifting and most important stay consistent. You do not have to lift every day of the week to stay in shape it matters what you do on your off days and eat as well. Depending on what your goal is to build muscle or try to lose weight will effect how much you want to lift and how many reps. If you are trying to bulk up and build more muscle you would have to lift heavier for less reps and eat more protein to try and build muscle mass. On the other end if you are trying to lose some weight you would mix in more cardio and lift lighter for more reps while watching what you eat. On off days a walk is a great low intensity activity to keep your body in shape and let you mind wonder. Another great exercise would be stretching, this speeds up the recovery process and helps sore muscles. The last thing to remember is to listen to your body and give it rest when you feel that you need it and not over work yourself to an injury.
