As popular wisdom says, "If you don’t know where you are heading, you will most likely get there."
To achieve maximum results from training, you must first set a task for yourself, to the solution of which you will move.
Training at home for girls: choose a goal and schedule
The goal should be narrowly focused, then it will be much easier to achieve its implementation.
For muscle growth in large quantities, calories are needed, and the calorie intake should exceed their consumption during training. The number of calories for each girl is calculated individually, it depends on the physique and metabolic rate.
But relief muscles will, on the contrary, when burning fat, which is achieved by reducing calorie intake. As you can see, the ways to achieve these goals are completely different, so you can not lose weight and build muscle at the same time.
The same goes for developing stamina and increasing strength. The first is achieved by a large number of repetitions at a low load, the second - by increasing the load with a small number of repetitions.
You need to know that each program needs to be devoted at least 8 weeks, even better - 12. Exercises can be changed, but the goal of training during this period should be one. If you devote a week to losing weight, a week to building muscle, then the efficiency will be equal to zero.
As a rule, when deciding to conduct training at home, girls have one goal - to make the figure more attractive. What is needed for this:
• You need to lose weight - we combine cardio and strength training.
• It is necessary to tone the muscles - we do aerobics.
• If you need to increase muscle - we focus on strength training.

Workouts at home for girls: tricks and tips
During training, the following principles must be observed:
• Before you start training the muscles, you need to “warm up”, because untrained muscles are more prone to injuries, and ligaments to sprains. In addition, when heated, the vessels expand, which means that the load on the heart decreases. To warm up the muscles, you need to do a light warm-up for 10 minutes.
• If you have any medical conditions, consult a doctor before training.
• If you do exercises with a load (for example, with dumbbells), you need to choose the right weight. To do this, do the exercises 12 times. If the last few repetitions are given to you with difficulty - it means the weight is selected correctly, if it is very difficult - the weight needs to be reduced, it is easy to increase.
• Make sure that the exercises are carried out correctly; improperly performed exercises, at best, will not produce the desired effect, and sometimes can even lead to injury.
• To maintain the pace of the workout, between the approaches you need to take short breaks (30-40 seconds) so that the body receives a short break.
• Do not forget about a reasonable diet and a full sleep (at least 8 hours a day). You also need to consume a lot of fluid (at least 2 liters per day) - all this is necessary to improve metabolism and will allow you to quickly get rid of unnecessary kilograms.
