Planning to hit the gym for the first time? Here are a few key things you need to know before going for strength training at the gym.
Be it building muscle, losing fat, or simply improving your overall fitness, having a clear goal in your mind will help guide your training program and keep you motivated.
Engage in a light cardio workout of 15 to 20 minutes, such as walking on the treadmill.
Make sure the better your form, the better the outcome. If you struggle to maintain proper form, decrease the weight or the number of repetitions.
Make sure to start with lighter loads and focus on perfecting your form first. Gradually increase the weight as you become comfortable.
Make sure to add healthy nutrients to your diet before embarking on a strength training journey. Consume a balanced diet rich in lean protein, complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, and plenty of fruits.
