With gyms opened once more there has been a steady increase in the numbers of people wanting to get back in shape after lockdown.
A lot of these people would be gym virgins. People who have never set foot inside a gym before and don't have a clue what to do once there.
It has taken me a while to truly appreciate just how nerve wrecking this can be for someone out of shape, lacking confidence and no real understanding of what to do
Think about it, you have this room FILLED with machines that look as if they could kill you, heavy weights being lifted by people clearly much stronger than they feel they are, they see and hear them crashing to the floor, exercises being done at a pace they already know is too hard for them.
Basically for a lot of people, walking into a gym is visual conformation that they aren't ready for it. No wonder so many people are intimidated
So if this sounds like you, then what should you do?
ANYTHING!
LITERALLY ANYTHING done regularly will begin to change the body of a beginner
The problem for lot of people today is that their training is overcomplicated (usually by their trainer who is trying to impress them), it is too advanced, too hard, too intense, basically too much too soon.
This what I am discussing today
