Get Well Defined Muscles By Investing Less Than 10 Minutes A Day

Trying your level best to get dense, fully developed muscles, but your mirror reflection shows saggy chunk of flesh no close to giving you a macho look. Those thoughts of putting in a few extra minutes to the exercise schedule to see visible results but see yourself crushed against time. I feel you, mate.

What if the answer to all the above questions lie in a band and stepping aside 5-10 minutes every day? Sounds unbelievable? Well, I am sure it may not add up, but trust me that it is a sure shot way to even make the stubborn set of muscles respond. You must have felt that your muscles tend to lose that definition when they are not flexed or  your body is at rest. Let’s unveil the reason behind it. The answer to your ‘soft and weak’ woes--Mind Muscle Connection (MMC). It is a very important factor when it comes to muscle building.

MMC your ability to contract or relax any muscle at will. A good MMC will help to keep the tension in the targeted areas, giving you those extra sharp edges to flaunt. Many believe that heavy weight lifting will help you retain the tension at all the targeted areas. It aims more at “building contraction” in the targeted area and less with the “weight”. When done right, this can be one significant factor which can help increase the hardness and “flexed” look of muscle.

The bands and cables can help you aim at flexing the muscle just the right way to build the evident contraction. It works differently than weight lifting where the focus is more on pushing extra weight over building contraction in the muscle set to make it pop.

If you feel that a few sets of muscle are difficult to groom or it is an entire set of muscles around your body stopping you, from the look you want to achieve then it is quite certain that your MMC is weak. If you want to improve on your MMC then doing high tension exercises is the right thing you should be working on.

All you need to get started with a band which should be ½ and a time frame of ten minutes to spare. Use the band to seek the peak level and try to hold on to that state for a while. This exercise is not going to help build only tension, but to tone your muscles and give them the edges and cuts you wanted to develop.

This workout needs to be done every day separately from your regular workout regime to help build upon your MMC. The main goal lies in the increasing frequency of muscle contraction. On a closing note, this exercise is not demanding and doesn’t requires you to visit the gym twice a day.
