As summer approaches, many people are hitting the gym more often. This trend is common as they aim to boost their fitness routines just in time for the warm weather. According to Kenny Santucci, a fitness trainer and owner of a gym, the key to looking and feeling your best is simply to move.<\/p>\n
In a recent chat, Santucci offered some straightforward advice. He understands that not everyone enjoys the same exercises. For example, he openly admits that he\u2019s not a fan of back squats. Instead, he chooses alternatives like leg presses or lunges on leg day. \u201cI don\u2019t like back squats, but I still make sure to do something,\u201d he said, emphasizing the importance of staying active.<\/p>\n
Santucci believes that the average person doesn\u2019t need to stick to a strict workout program. \u201cYou don\u2019t have to follow a rigid routine,\u201d he explained. When a particular exercise starts to feel like a chore, it can be hard to stay motivated. He encourages people to mix things up with different activities they enjoy. \u201cEven if it\u2019s just swinging a kettlebell or pushing a sled, just move!\u201d <\/p>\n
He wants everyone to look forward to their workouts rather than dread them. The goal, he says, is to make going to the gym a habit where you think less about whether to go and more about what you\u2019re going to do when you arrive.<\/p>\n
Santucci emphasizes that while any movement is good, not all exercises will help you build muscle effectively. He recommends incorporating more strength training into your routine, lifting weights that challenge you. \u201cStrength training should be at the core of your workouts,\u201d he said. It’s important to work at about 60% to 80% of your capacity to see the best results.<\/p>\n
Lastly, Santucci reminds us that building muscle requires effort\u2014both in terms of lifting weights and consuming enough protein to support growth. However, he\u2019s also clear about wanting everyone to enjoy their fitness journey. \u201cWorking out shouldn\u2019t just be about difficulty,\u201d he noted. It\u2019s all about making progress and finding what works for you.<\/p>\n
So as you gear up for summer, remember: Just keep moving and find joy in your workouts!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
