5 THINGS I’D DO AS A GYM BEGINNER ‼️

❗️READ ME❗️

Knowing where to start your fitness journey can be overwhelming…

Here are 5 things I’d do as a beginner in the gym:

1️⃣: Focus on lifting weights 3-4x/week for 30-60 minutes.

Building muscle needs to be a priority as it boosts your metabolism, which is going to make your weight loss sustainable. This is a key component of fat loss and no, you’re not going to end up bulky.

2️⃣: Prioritize proper form and use a full range of motion.

Utilizing a full range of motion with proper form will allow you to reap the best results possible while minimizing injury. Stop the ego lifting and half reps, and drop the weight slighty if needs be.

3️⃣: Rest for at least 90 seconds in between your sets.

Fatigue accumulates with every exercise, set, and rep. It’s important to ensure you’re getting in enough rest between your sets, so you can achieve the greatest force output which will compound your progress over time.

4️⃣: Carbs before your workout, protein afterwards.

Eating carbs beforehand will give you sufficient energy to push yourself. Protein post-workout will help you recover more quickly and it can deepen your calorie deficit.

5️⃣: Understand that motivation comes and goes.

You’re not always going to feel 100% motivated and that’s completely normal. If you’re always waiting for motivation, you’ll wait forever. Take a little bit of action everyday, even if it’s imperfect.
