An effective way to increase the amount of weight you can lift is to add an extra 25% to 30% of weight to your exercise. Hold the weight steadily for about three seconds. When you go back to your normal maximum weight, it will not seem as heavy. Try using twenty to thirty percent more weight than usual when performing a given weight training exercise. Then just hold the weight for as long as you can, rather than trying to actively lift it. After lifting this additional weight, your actual max will seem lighter.

When you are doing lat pull downs to exercise your back, keep your thumbs around the bar next to your index finger. This action increases the input necessary from your back and decreases the involvement of your arms, giving you a good back workout. You can even apply this tip to your pull ups for a similar result. Place your thumbs around the bar next to your index finger while doing lat pulldowns in order to improve your back workout.

Try leg curls as an effective way to work your hamstrings. Release the curl slowly for best results. If your hamstring muscles are in good shape, you'll be able to run faster. If you want to sprint faster, strengthen your hamstrings and keep them limber. Speed and strength for push off are a product of your hamstrings. Use leg curls to work out your hamstring muscles, releasing slowly and feeling the tension. Powerful hamstrings can equate to a speedier sprint.

You do not need to buy your own elliptical machine or join a gym if you want to become fit. Opting for the stairs rather than the elevator will work well towards improving your fitness. Avoid picking the closest spot to the mall entrance, and walk a little further instead. Using these steps will help you have more physical fitness and will help you get rid of more calories day by day. It isn't necessary to join a gym to get in shape. Unlike riding an escalator or elevator, taking the stairs can promote physical fitness.

Each of these small changes in your daily routine can improve your overall physical fitness level, and also aid you in burning extra calories.
