Tip #6 For Beginners




Hey everyone,         

Here are several tips for beginners at the gym focusing on weights. I know the feeling when you first step into the gym, your nervous, intimidated and you really just want to get it over and done with.
·        
      First never feel that you shouldn’t be in a certain area such as the weights section, because you have every right to be there as much as anyone else.
·       
          Also use the gym to its full capacity! Gym’s offer induction services and aid with equipment for it’s members so use the gym to its full extent. Make sure you ask questions.
·      
          An idea to avoid injury especially when your body is sensitive when you first start working out is to use the machines. Don’t use free weights until you’re comfortable with exercises and have a better understanding of weights.
·     
          Don’t start lifting too heavy in the beginning. Get comfortable with the weight, however challenge yourself and set goals. For instance try increasing the weight for a certain exercise every two weeks by 2.5-5 kg.
·    
          Become comfortable with weights by focusing on strength training and interval training with shorter workouts (30 – 45 minutes).
·   
          Lastly and most importantly is to set goals and make sure you complete them. They will give you something to accomplish, help motivate you and you will love the results.

Train hard guys.
