gym, invest in 1:1 sessions or an online training plan to get you started and to learn the basics. You’d be amazed at what you can learn in just a couple of sessions. • Ask a friend. If you knowsomeone wholiftsweights and knows what they’re doing, ask them if they’d be happy for you to join them. •Watch video tutorials and follow reputable people on social media for gyminspiration,workouts and exercise ideas. Followthese and practice the exercises athomein the mirror with your bodyweight before stepping into the gymif that helps.
To get the results youwant, you need to lift heavy (not so heavy that you hurt yourself but a challengingweight and to push your body), focus on the quality of yourworkouts, stay consistent and progress them regularly. Liftweights that are challenging for you that feel difficult for the lastcouple of reps.
If you do start liftingweights,make sure that you look after your body outside of the gymtoo. Take a couple of rest days each
week, eat a balanced diet with plenty of protein, greens and calories and
get enough good quality sleep. These things will all help aid recovery, which is when yourmuscles actually grow.
