Design Your Own Sports Academy Training Regime

By Julio Douthit


You might think you need to join a sports academy to get into shape with sports specific training. That is not necessarily the case, however. In fact there are lots of ways you can design a regime of exercise dedicated to getting fit for a particular activity. Here are some tips on how to do that in a way that really works.

All the old gym cliches about pushing it to the limit and no pain no gain might sound good, but following their advice straight off may well result in you burning out. Instead think about your level of fitness. Now match your workout timetable to that and go harder and harder as you improve in your levels of durability.

To keep going for as long as possible without destroying yourself, variety will be key. A large amount of variety in your regime helps on several levels. Mainly it keeps you interested and stops you waking up dreading your workout. It also keeps your body sharp and makes sure you do not end up concentrating on a single element.

All workout regimes require goals, whether they be sports specific training or just a normal gym routine. When setting goals, do so realistically and without hyperbole. An unworkable goal, set without consideration of your physical abilities, will just mean you get disheartened you find it distant no matter how much work you put in. Set something high but achievable.

There are two definite traits which go a long way when it comes to getting fit: consistency and patience. Be consistent in the way you work out - if you miss a day, make sure you put the extra effort in to make up the next day and don't let things in your work or personal life distract you too easily. Be patient too - don't throw in the towel because you didn't get immediate results.

Equipment is another essential part of any kind of work out. This does not just mean the machines in the gym but also the clothes on your body. Get some decent footwear which corresponds to the kind of pressure you'll be putting on your feet. If you are lifting weights regularly, consider investing in a pair of gloves to protect your palms.

Training for a sport does not mean enrolling in a sports academy. You do need to design a workout schedule which really works for you. Make sure you put the above information in action and get a regime which delivers real results.
