Need Help on Finding a Beginners Workout?

By Dan Lawsenn

I began my path to fitness at an early age, 18 to be exact. I can recall the first time I entered a gym, I was like a kid in a candy store. Although I was excited, I was a little intimated by all the machines and equipment.

It's a bit overwhelming if you've never been in a gym environment, and it's very hard to determine where you should start on your own. I slowly learned exercise routines through watching other people at the gym and paying close attention on the movements they were using to build muscle.

Had I done some research on gyms and not been so gung-ho, I would've been better prepared and could have hit the ground running (no pun intended). Now that I have some experience, I know how important it is to get started on the right foot with a proper beginners workout.

Coming up with a beginners workout can be both exciting and rewarding. You can very easily do this if you have good information. Begin with the internet, but be sure you're taking advice from credible sources, and not the average Joe.

There can be many fitness goals for people. Some want to bulk up, some want to tone up, and some want to lose weight. These are just a few of the main goals, but there can be an infinite number of these. It's critical that you choose a beginners workout routine that matches your goals to get the most satisfaction out of it.

No matter what your fitness goals, you're going to want to have both weight training and cardio to achieve maximum results in the gym. The exercises, amount of weight, and intensity will vary depending on your goals. Beginners should try out a few different types of exercises and pick those that feel comfortable to them, and avoid painful exercises or those that are risky to their safety.

It's absolutely critical that a beginners workout program include a nutritional program, a workout regiment, and a driving motivational factor. If you don't have these 3 areas covered, you're not going to see the results you want.

Be cautious when choosing a beginners workout routine. While the internet can provide a ton of information, you must be selective and only take advice from reputable sources to get the most out of your program.
