Tips for Gym Starters

Here are a few tips i found for those who're just about to join the Gym for the frst time. Thought it'll be a great share

1) Keep Your Body Hydrated
Drink water 15-25mins before starting your warmup exercises. This will reduce the chances of gettng muscle cramp.

2) Warm Up and Stretching
Warm-up and dynamic stretching is very important, infact the most important thing before starting any exercise

3) Go Slow
Don't over exert yourself n order to lose flab early. Resist the temptaton of lifting weight in initial days. Go for a higher number of repetitions for the first few times and gradually practise with the heavier weights.

4) Bench Pressing
Don't pick your feet up from the floor when you bench, no matter how others are doing it. Prefer light weight so that your feet are always steadily planted.

5) Cool Down
After working out,do cool-down exercises. You need to calm your muscles by repeating some of the stretching exercises in correct order.

Hope you liked it.
