I left gym few months back due to studies, but I got for jogging everyday, 2 KM total.
Don't quit due to pain
Yup, they are expanding for the first time, that why
wake up, have a glass of water from a Copper Jug, go to loo...have a cup of tea then go to gym.
^^hmm... ive never heard of that one before.. how does tea help with going to the gym??
there are a lot of people who will give you tips regarding this. but your best bet is get help from a reliable source, a good gym with a competent instructor is what you should be looking for.
well, my opinion is, for your safety, you should follow correct posture while doing any workout, else you may hurt yourself. that is very important.
second, follow correct breathing technique while doing the exercise. if you hold your breath while doing exercise, your blood pressure will rise to dangerous levels. usually, you should exhale while lifting weight and inhale otherwise. but this depends on the exericse you are doing.
cardio is very important, before your workout, you have to warm up your body by doing cardio.
keep your body hydrated, but dont overdo that.
any instructor who does not emphasize on the above points is not a competent instructor, and dont go that gym. even if you do, dont follow his advice. you will only end up harming youself.
and last but not the least, follow gym etiquette, dont hog machines. keep a piece of cloth handy to wipe off sweat off machines that you have used. keep your palms dry, for those of you whos palms sweat. dont leave a trail of foul smelling odour wherever you go. and dont use the gym to gossip with friends.
and one more point, do get a health check up before hitting the gym, to see if your body can take the strain of a workout. sometimes, you wont know if there are any problems and working out with those problems may cause irreversible damage ...
