The Top Ten Mistakes Women Make In The Gym

Assalamualaikum.. (waalaikumsalam ^^)

AZAM AKU SEBELUM STAT KEJE.. MESTI PEGI GYM !! HIYAH  >.<


10/ Doing The Same Workout Every Single Day

If you haven't been working out for very long, or you've never had the good fortune of speaking with a knowledgeable trainer, you might not realize that when you break down a muscle it needs time to rest and repair itself.
If you work it every day it will never have the chance to recover, and therefore it will never get any stronger or any more "toned." It's important to give each muscle group a rest of at least 48 hours between workouts. I would go even further and recommend not training each muscle group more than once per week.

Don't be afraid to let those muscles chill out. Rest is just as important as the work. An example of a good 4-day split would look something like this:

    Monday: Chest/Biceps
    Tuesday: Legs
    Wednesday: Rest
    Thursday: Shoulders/Triceps
    Friday: Back
    Saturday: Rest
    Sunday: Rest

9/ Fear Of The Dumbbell

It seems so many women still hold the old common misconception that they will get too big if they lift weights. Ladies, trust me, you will never turn into the Incredible Hulk simply by picking up a dumbbell. Nor will you be able to make any significant changes in your body by merely doing hours of cardio.
Sure, you can burn some body fat, but what's left under the fat layer once it's burned off? You'll discover, not much. You'll still feel too fat and flabby.
It's weight training that gives a woman sexy arms, tight glutes, shapely calves, a flat stomach and an overall appealing shape. Not to mention, the more muscle mass you carry, the more calories you burn even when you're at rest. Muscle tissue is ravenous! You'll even improve your bone density and help to fight off osteoporosis!

8/ Not Drinking

Okay, this one doesn't just apply to the ladies. As a matter of fact, I rarely see anyone in the gym consuming as much water as they should. If you watch a competitive bodybuilder in the gym, you'll probably notice they'll often be carrying a gallon jug along with them. You will certainly see that if you happen to see me working out. Why's water consumption so important? It flushes toxins. It helps to keep joints healthy. It prevents dizziness and fainting. It keeps metabolism higher. It reduces fatigue.

7/ Cardio, Cardio, Cardio

It was once said to me by a trainer who shall go nameless that you cannot do too much cardio. This must've been one of the dumbest things ever uttered in a gym. Of course you can do too much cardio! I've done too much cardio. Think about this: too much cardio increases cortisol in the body. This results in the tearing down of muscle tissue. The less muscle you have, the slower your metabolic rate. Keep it sane, ladies. Everyone's body is different, of course, so you'll need to do a little investigating to find out how much cardio is right for you.

6/ Bad Form On Wide-Grip Lat Pull-Downs

They key word in this exercise is "lat," as in latissimus dorsi. This is one of the large muscle groups of the back. A lat pull-down is meant to work the back. However, I will often times see women pulling the bar down using only their arms and pulling it down way too low, to about stomach level.
The correct form on this exercise is to grasp the bar with the hands a little wider than shoulder width apart and pull the bar just above the chest, letting the body lean back slightly as you pull down.
As you do the exercise, try not to grab the bar too tightly. Imagine the exertion is only coming from the back rather than the hands. This will help keep the work out of the biceps. If you plan on bumping the weight up quite a bit, I'd suggest investing in a good pair of lifting straps.

5/ Trying To Shrink The Waist With Abdominal Abuse

So many people still believe they can shrink their waists by excessively training their abs. For those of you who haven't heard, it's not possible to reduce the fat layer on top of the abdominals by working the abs. You may create the illusion of a tighter stomach because the underlying muscle will give shape to the fat layer on top, but you can't reduce the fat itself by crunching.
In order to reduce the fat layer on top of the abdominals you must follow a healthy diet and do your cardio. Training your abs 2-to-3 times per week maximum will ensure you'll have something sexy to look at once the fat has been reduced.

4/ Trying Not To Sweat

Sweating is healthy. Don't worry about your eye make-up. Why are you even wearing any? You're there to workout, not to find a date, right? Oh, I'm wrong? My mistake.

3/ Wearing Too Much Perfume!

The same woman who didn't want to sweat might be the same woman here. I tell you, there's nothing quite like being on a treadmill, huffing and puffing, and getting a waft of highly potent chemical roses in your face when that certain lady walks by.
It's just plain rude to drown yourself in scent and go anywhere in public, but especially to go to the gym where people are breathing heavily. Some people are even sensitive to perfumes and other chemicals. They can have adverse reactions to the scent and become quite ill. Be considerate. Leave the roses at home.

2/ Not Consuming Post-Workout Protein

Again, this is a mistake made by men and women alike. If you've just had a good workout and broken down your muscle tissue, how do you expect the muscle to begin the repair process? Most gyms even offer protein shakes, but it's easy enough to make your own.
I suggest using whey protein isolate and adding L-glutamine. Personally, I take in 40 grams of whey protein isolate, 50 grams of carbs and 5 grams of L-glutamine. I also take 3 essential fatty acid capsules for healthy fats. Again, everyone is different, so you'll need to do a little investigating to figure out the right amount of protein, carbs, fats and glutamine you should be taking in post-workout.

1/ Doing Side Bends!

Yes, that's right, ladies. I see you gals doing side bends to the left and to the right of me, over and over again. All I can say is STOP IT! By performing this stupid exercise you're doing exactly the opposite of what you're hoping to achieve. You're thickening your waist. I'll repeat that. You're THICKENING your waist.
If you'd like to refer to number five on this list, you will see that you cannot remove fat by working the muscle under the fat. But I find side bends to be even more evil than excessive crunches because it makes you appear wider from the front. As a bodybuilder I have been instructed to never do this exercise, ever! It would diminish any hope of creating a nice V-taper.
Even if you're not a bodybuilder, why would you want to thicken your waist? I don't think that's the look you're all trying for. Throw the side bends out the window. Never do this exercise again as long as you live! Side bends are evil. Remember that!

2013 ?

assalamualaikum.. (waalaikumsalam) ^^

berbalik kpd tajuk kita pd hari ini ye.. hehe
2013??

aduhai, da msuk bln 2 da pon.. ^^
nyway.. aku still nk share azam aku.. (ad aku kesah ? hakhak )

1) merubah diri kepada yg lbih baek..
2) tamatkan pembelajaran dan keje ! (muka bersemangat time tulis ni, haha)
3) berjasa kpd kedua org tua, x mo susahkan mereka..
4) ofkos la kawin.. (nmpak gelenya di situ ye.. haha)

emm. sbut pasal kawin.. terlintas di fikiranku psl nk pakai purdah... ( yg pnting niat tu ade ye adik2 )

 

"Hai orang-orang yang beriman bertakwalah kamu kepada Allah dan ucapkanlah perkataan yg benar. Niscaya Allah memperbaiki bagimu amalan-amalanmu dan mengampuni dosa-dosamu. Barangsiapa mentaati Allah dan RasulNya maka sesungguhnya ia telah mendapat kemenangan yang besar." [Al-Ahzab : 70-71] .

Wajib wanita muslimah memakai niqab atau purdah adalah pendapat sebahagian para ulama. Sementara jumhur (majoriti) ulama berpendapat muka wanita tidak termasuk di dalam auratnya. Wanita yang memakai purdah berpegang dengan pendapat golongan ulama yang mewajibkannya. Ini adalah hak mereka. Selagi mereka berkeyakinan pendapat yang menyatakan ianya wajib itu kuat, maka mereka wajib memakainya. Ini kerana seseorang itu berpegang kepada apa yang dia yakin. Seseorang individu tidak wajib mengikut mazhab orang ramai, tetapi hendaklah mengikuti apa yang dia faham dan yakin yang berpandukan perbahasan-perbahasan para imam ahli sunnah wal jama`ah. Saya menyokong pendapat jumhur ulama yang menganggap purdah bukanlah suatu kewajipan. Wajah wanita bukanlah aurat. Adalah kurang tepat jika ada yang memakai purdah sekadar ikutan sahaja.

Ini seperti yang disebut oleh al-Imam al-Nawawi (meninggal 676H) di dalam kitabnya المجموع Al-Majmu’ katanya:

“Sesungguhnya aurat wanita yang merdeka itu ialah seluruh badannya kecuali muka dan kedua tapak tangan.

Inilah pendapat al-Imam al-Syafi`i, al-Imam Malik, al-Imam Abu Hanifah, al-Imam al-`Auza`i, al-Imam Abu Thaur dan lain-lain. Demikian juga dalam satu riwayat daripada pendapat al-Imam Ahmad” (al-Nawawi, Al-Majmu’ Syarh al-Muhazzab, jld 3, 169, cetakan: Dar al-Fikr, Beirut) Di zaman ini, antara ulama yang kuat menegaskan wajah wanita adalah aurat ialah al-Syeikh Ibn Baz r.h. (mufti Saudi yang telah meninggal) dalam fatwa-fatwanya yang banyak, diikuti oleh kebanyakan para ulama di Saudi. Sebelum itu `Abu al-`Ala al-Maududi r.h dalam bukunya al-Hijab. Sementara yang menyatakan wajah wanita bukan aurat adalah majoriti ulama semasa, antaranya Dr. Yusuf al-Qaradawi dalam bukunya Al-Niqab li al-Marah” Al-Syeikh Nasir al-Din al-Albani r.h. dalam Jilbab al-Marah al-Muslimah fi al-Kitab wa al-Sunnah” dan kitabnya yang akhir sebelum beliau meninggal sebagai jawapan dan tambahan kepada kitab tersebut iaituالرد المفحم Al-Radd al-Mufhim. Begitu juga Muhammad al-Ghazali r.h. dalam banyak tempat dalam buku-bukunya. Alasan-alasan yang dibawa oleh jumhur ulama yang menyatakan wajah wanita muslimah bukannya aurat adalah jelas dan nyata.

Antaranya: -Firman Allah dalam Surah al-Nur ayat 31

Maksudnya:“Dan janganlah mereka memperlihatkan perhiasan (tubuh) mereka kecuali yang zahir daripadanya; dan hendaklah mereka menutup belahan leher bajunya dengan tudung kepala mereka”.

Berpandukan ayat ini pihak jumhur berhujah dengan dua perkara: Pertama: Jumhur menafsirkan maksud: (maksudnya kecuali yang zahir daripadanya) ialah wajah dan tapak tangan. Ini sama seperti yang ditafsirkan oleh Ibn `Abbas, Umm al-Mukminin`Aisyah, `Abdullah bin `Umar, Anas bin Malik, Abu Hurairah, al-Miswar bin Makhramah dan lain-lain. Sesiapa yang inginkan pendetilan mereka boleh melihat kitab-kitab tafsir, hadith dan fiqh ketika para `ulama menghuraikan ayat ini. Al-Syeikh al-Albani r.h. mendetilkan perbincangan ayat tersebut dalam kitabnya Al-Radd al-Mufhim bagi membukti bahawa muka dan tapak tangan bukannya aurat bagi wanita muslimah dan beliau menyenaraikan riwayat yang membuktikan para sahabah berpegang kepada pendapat yang menyatakan muka dan tapak tangan bukanlah aurat. Kedua: ayat di atas menyatakan: (maksudnya): “dan hendaklah mereka menutup belahan leher bajunya dengan tudung kepala mereka”. Allah hanya memerintahkan agar ditutup juyub iaitu jamak kepada jaib ataupun kita terjemahkan sebagai bahagian dada yang terdedah disebabkan belahan leher baju. Ini bermaksud wanita diperintahkan agar tudung kepala mereka dilabuhkan sehingga menutup bahagian dada yang terdedah kerana belahan leher baju. Ayat ini tidak langsung menyebut agar mereka menutup wajah mereka. Kalaulah wajah itu adalah aurat, maka sudah pasti ayat ini akan turut memerintahkan agar mereka menutupnya juga.Oleh itu al-Imam Ibn Hazm al-Andalusi (meninggal 456H) menyebut dalam Al-Muhalla: “Ayat ini adalah dalil bahawa diharuskan membuka wajah, tidak mungkin sama sekali difahami selain dari itu” (Ibn Hazm al-Andalusi, Al-Muhalla bi al-Athar, jld.2, m.s. 247, cetakan: Dar al-Kutub al-`Ilmiyyah, Beirut). Di samping perlu diberikan perhatian bahawa ayat ini adalah dalil yang menunjukkan kewajipan menutup kepala, tengkuk dan dada. Ini jelas di dalam ayat di atas. Oleh itu pendedahan kepala, tengkuk dan dada yang dilakukan oleh sebahagian wanita muslimah adalah menyanggahi arahan al-Quran. Adapun apa yang ditakwilkan oleh sebahagian penulis semasa bahawa bahagian-bahagian tersebut tidak termasuk di dalam aurat wanita muslimah adalah penyelewengan dalam penfsiran ayat.

sesungguhnya, aku insan yg lemah..
