Work Out For Beginners

If you do not know what you are doing, the gym can be a very scary place. People watching you, staring at you as if you are a rookie. You feel they can sense it, and you feel intimidated. This should NOT be a reason for you to skip out on the gym.

How to workout at the gym

All it takes is a little knowledge on how to work out, and on what machine. If you go into the gym with a knowledge of exactly what you want to do, you already have a boost of confidence that will show through to everyone else. You need to develop a work out plan that is best suitable for you. Below is one that is very basic. It consist of lifting 3 days a week. It is a starting point. You need to start somewhere. Check back at a later date, or subscribe, to get more intense workouts that you can do.  By swapping push/pull muscles, you allow time for the push muscles to rest, while you are working pull, and vice versa. This limits fatigue the next time you life the muscle group. Choose a weight you can lift 12-15 times. Do 3 sets of 12-15. Remember, choosing the right weight is key. Do not choose a weight that is too heavy at first. The last thing you want to do is look like a rookie by attempting to put on too much weight then having someone dead lift it off of you. Lift a weight you are sure you can complete the first time. It is much easier to go up weight, then down.
