Listen to What Your Body is Saying

You body can tell you when sufficient is sufficient or when you may be able to push it a slight bit further.

Building Muscle

Fitness

Building muscle doesn't come without a slight pain and endeavor on your part. While getting to the next level in your fitness is going to have some pain linked with it (no pain, no gain), it shouldn't be serious pain. A personal trainer can help guide you by pointing out some of the areas of your body and muscles to be aware of in order to help you avoid hurting yourself. If you're working out on your own, take some time to get to know some of the important parts of the body. As you start bodybuilding and working out, you'll learn more about your body along with what pain level is general for you and what may be working its way to an injury.

If you reach a level of pain that is not general for your body, then stop what you're doing immediately. If you push yourself too far then you may end up with damage or an injury, so if your body is screaming then listen to what it's saying.

Track Your Progress

One of the most things your body can divulge is how well you're doing at reaching your fitness goal. Track your improve by taking your body measurements before you start working out and each week after. Since changes to your body tend to be gradual rather than immediate, taking measurements will help you to keep track of your progress. When you see certain results in writing, it helps to reassure you that what you're doing is working, which keeps you motivated.

What works for one man when it comes to fitness does not work for another. This means as you start to and continue to work out you need to listen to what your body is telling you. This can keep you from damaging a muscle or sustaining an injury. It can also help you to make adjustments in order to reach your fitness goals. So remember to listen to what your body is telling you-whether it's to stop what you're doing or push it a slight further.
