Often it becomes quite a tricky affair for the beginners to enter the gym where all the gym rats are giving those loathed looks. For all those rookies who are looking for their own space in that jungle here is a guide so as to how get started.
Get yourself checked- get a complete physical and also get approval from a Doc before starting any program. Talk to a professional trainer about your conditions, your goals and suitable diet.
Warm Up- Working out without warming up increases chances of injuries. Dynamic warm up is the best method which would include one set of squats, pushups, lunges and rows each in succession.
Need to stretch- hold each stretch in the position for a few seconds to increase your flexibility. Subjecting yourself to high levels of tediousness may result in weakening of connecting tissues.
The Thumb Rule- the heaviest weight that lets you complete every repetition and maintain a consistent speed of the weight at all times should be used. It takes bits of trials to determine the suitable weights which are neither too light nor too heavy.
