Let us first define that what a workout plan is? Workout plan means that you know every day that which exercises you need to be doing on a particular day. It also explains that how much weight you would be carrying and what should be the frequency of exercises. Getting big muscles demand that you bring perfection in your bodybuilding routines and having a workout plan is exactly for it.

It is a natural tendency among the bodybuilders to try lifting more what they can actually do. The trend is much more in beginners who try to lift heavy weights in the gym just by seeing their colleagues lifting heavy. Doing so, they forget that other guys are experienced and they have taken much time to reach that level of lifting heavy. A workout plan comes here to give you a direction and make sure that you do not do what is beyond your ability and capacity. In other words, a workout plan is a guard against various sorts of injuries which you may catch otherwise.
Secondly, a workout plan is important to keep you focused. You know each day that what you need to do and how much to do. Focus is the key for success. You do not just go and start doing exercises but enter the gym with a plan and approach.

Another indirect advantage of workout plan is that it caters to the need of body rest. You know which exercises to be done for particular muscles each day and what time and rest to be given to the body. It automatically prevents you from over-training your body muscles.

Question arises, how to get a good workout plan? I would say that your gym instructor or trainer could be the best choice. He is the one who is available all the time in the gym, knows your body structure and weather conditions around and is well experienced. So you should consult your trainer to help you in making a good workout plan and then get a diet plan in accordance with the workout plan that you get. This perhaps is another advantage of having workout plan that you know which exercise you need to be doing every day and which diet could be best for your body in accordance with the exercise. So do follow a workout plan to get better bodybuilding results.

You must have read many articles on the importance of joining a gym and that too of professional gym. No doubt there are many advantages of joining a professional gym, but t the same time, home gym also has some advantages. Below I have enlisted some of the advantages of having a home gym:

1- First advantage that you get with home gym is that you do not have to travel to the gym. It’s there with you in your home and you can do exercise at your own will. So it’s a big plus.

2- Next important thing is that you save time. Time is very crucial for all of us. Some guys are too busy to get time for gym and stuff. For such guys, home gym can really be the ideal thing because they can really do their exercise easily at home in the gym. Apart from that, most of the guys initially do start gym but then they leave it just because they are not getting enough time for it. So home gym is good in this case.

3- Third is the cost factor. Most of the gyms now-a-days are charging heavy gym fees and most of the guys cannot really afford it. They have to pay heavy gym fees and also have to spend on food and supplements. So home gym can be a good idea for such fellows because they just need some basic exercise equipment and that is it.

4- Then at home you are at ease and you do not have any pressure. You can be relaxed and do your exercise easily.
5- You do not have to wait for any exercise at home but in gym, if some other guy is having his workout on a particular machine, then you have to wait for your turn which also wastes time. In home you are the only champion JI would advise that those guys who cannot afford gym fees or do not have enough time to go out and do exercise, should really focus on making a home gym.

The topic of this article might sound you awkward but I will tell you today that why you need to have a partner or friend during your workouts. You should be aware of the fact that it is important to do exercise in a correct manner so that you get proper results and prevent your body from getting bad shape. So having a partner or any friend in your workout ensures that you perform your exercises perfectly.

An important factor which ensures that you do your exercise with enthusiasm and commitment is motivation. Motivation is required for each and every sport and is a must for getting excellence in any field. Same case applies here in bodybuilding as well and a friend or partner keeps you motivated during your exercise and workouts. Bodybuilding you know is not a game of a day or two or weeks or even months. It is an ongoing activity which requires much attention and efforts with heavy machines. Most of the guys I have seen myself who join gyms and start exercise with great enthusiasm but after a few weeks get fed up and leave this exercise forever. You continuously need a partner who can keep you motivated and makes your exercise programme a success.

So having a partner in the gym gives you 2 vital benefits. 1- makes sure that you perform your exercise at correct angels and in right manner. Often it happens that you start avoiding certain exercises or do not take initiative because you are not getting the courage to do them. Or perhaps the weights are heavy. In any case, he helps you to take initiative and do the exercise and that too correctly. 2- He keeps you motivated and does not let you slip away from the bodybuilding. So always try to have a good friend as partner to achieve best results in bodybuilding.

I am writing this article to create awareness about the guys who are enthusiastic about bodybuilding and join different gyms for their bodybuilding/ fitness programme. Always pay special attention to availability and quality of instructors in the gym because they play vital role in bodybuilding programme of bodybuilders. Below I will highlight 5 important reasons which will highlight the importance of gym instructors:

1- Gym instructor is the one who is there to guide you about having a well organized workout plan. Workout plan is very important if you want to get good results because it keeps you focused and is tailored according to your body capacity and requirements. Only a good instructor in the gym can understand your body structure and capacity and provide you a plan which is customized as per your needs. So it is a very important aspect of having gym instructors of good quality in the gym.

2- Next comes your diet. Diet is of prime importance in your bodybuilding and a well balanced diet can really produce good results. Again, a good quality instructor can suggest you about your diet plan which again is customized as per your body structure.

3- Third important thing is that you take supplements to get a bit of extra results for bodybuilding. Getting a good supplement which is free from any steroid elements is very important. Role of a good instructor comes into play here again because he advises you correctly that which supplements are good and can be taken.

4- Another important thing is to have a proper rest plan to make sure that you are not over-training your muscles and giving them enough time to grow. A good instructor gives you a proper plan which focuses individual muscle groups to ensure that you do not over-train them and provide them with a good chance of rest.

5- Last but not the least, a good instructor is always there in the gym for your guidance and support to make sure that you are doing exercise right with correct method. Initially, he teaches you how to do exercises by himself performing in front of you and then keeps an eye throughout your training programme to make sure that you are following the instructions that he gave you for training of your muscles.

You must have heard about a number of big factors that affect your bodybuilding. These factors include great workout plans, nutritious diet, use of supplements, your rest plan etc. But there are a number of factors which affect our bodybuilding equally but we often ignore them or do not pay much of the attention. Location of our gym is a similar factor which may not be given due importance but certainly has a lot of effect on our bodybuilding programme. Let me explain how?

Suppose you are starting bodybuilding and you want to join a gym. Now which gym is good for you? Apart from various other factors, location of a gym does matter and must be given proper attention during gym selection phase. Say you join a gym which is at a fair amount of distance from your home or from your working place. Now initially when you are enthusiastic about gym, you will be going regularly and doing your exercise. But after few days or may be after few weeks, you will start skipping your exercise just because of the fact that you are not getting time to go to gym which is at a distant place. Keep in mind that out of all the factors which affect bodybuilding, consistency is really the key for success and getting best results. If you start skipping the gym (which you would tend to do if it is at a distant place), you are actually washing away even your previous efforts.

So make sure that you select a gym at a distance where you can easily go and get your exercise done even if you are busy. I have seen a number of guys who initially join gym enthusiastically but then start skipping just because they start feeling that gym is far away and that is why punctuality is not possible. In some cases they leave the exercise altogether. So if you are planning to go to gym directly from your work place, make sure that gym is in a comfortable range of distance. If you prefer to go gym from home, again the same strategy of less distance matters. So guys, do pay attention to such small factors and do not ignore them because these are equally important for you to see best results
