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.
