Time slips away from you when you have so much to do. It is starting to appear that I am only managing to blog on the site once a month or less these days. Not my intention really but with my business getting into the busier time of the year, my helping out a friend with her business, and planning my wedding I have been a little overwhelmed.
I stepped on the scale the other day to find out much to my dismay that I have gained 8 pounds since Christmas. Mind you upon closer inspection on my measurements I have realized that it appears to be muscle formation(that friend of mine has a child care centre and I have been carrying children).I have been hauling groceries around as well since I am now within a 15 minute walk to a store. So weight should not be the prime focus on ones mind for getting in shape. Muscle mass although may be scary on the scale account is a good measure of success in health terms.
Keeping to the theme of body building I thought the following article would be a good read.

The Perfect Body building Exercise
Copyright 2006 Ash Trivedi

So what is the perfect bodybuilding exercise or workout
routine? READ ON.

Most people, when they plan out a workout routine, don’t
take into consideration the implication of each exercise on
other areas of the body. Almost every individual exercise
performed effects more than one group of muscles and
therefore, is obviously more practical to design the
workout that compliments only those areas.

Bodybuilders group exercises by body part and train one
muscle group at a time. Working one muscle with 1-3
exercises ensures that you train it thoroughly. Experience
says that this type of training is the most efficient for
bodybuilding.

There are going to be times when it is unavoidable and you
may end up working the same muscle group over two workouts,
however as a rule it is better not to. It is also important
to consider what you are trying to achieve; building Mass,
definition, strength or all three. As a beginner it’s
important to emphasize on evaluating the best bodybuilding
exercise since the first thing everyone thrives for is
quick, visible a result.

The most prominent feature that lets everyone know you’re
working out is not below the waistline, though it’s worth
pointing out that that may actually be less prominent if
you decide to take the easy rout of by taking illegal body
enhancing substances. The most eye-catching is obviously
your muscle mass.

Design your bodybuilding exercise routine to firstly build
mass on the largest muscle groups. Every major muscle
group should be developed to prevent muscle imbalance and
the risk of injury and so you don't look like a freak. I
see some of the guys who have a huge chest, back, arms,
traps, but have the smallest legs. They might be able to
put up 375 lbs 5 times (not a joke), but when you look at
his legs, you notice he have never, ever even trained them.
His arms might be 16", or whatever, but his claves are no
bigger than 13".

To maintain symmetry and prevent muscle imbalance, choose
bodybuilding exercises that train both side of the body
simultaneously. The best way to start is to keep it simple,
split the body into two sections, upper body and lower
body. For the upper body; chest, shoulders and back is a
good start, for the lower body thighs and calves. Remember
1-3 excesses; shoulder press, medium grip bench press and
chin-ups are sufficient for upper body development as a
starter. Squats, leg-press and calve raises complete the
routine. All of these bodybuilding exercises work on both
sides simultaneously whilst maintaining symmetry and
muscular balance at the development stage.
