Good Gym and Workout Tips For Beginners

Hygiene 

• Hygiene is a first thing you should maintain, during your workout and before hitting the gym. 
• It is evident that you will sweat during your workout, still make sure, you enter the gym premises clean, by taking a shower in order to keep the bad odour away. 

Ask for help 

• Your gym may be equipped with several new and advanced technologies. 
• So, remember to ask a trainer for a demonstration before you use that particular piece of equipment. 

Warm up 

• Before getting onto any machines, make sure you include a warm up session as part of your training. 
• A warm up will prevent gym injuries and prepare your body for rigorous training. 

Bring a towel  and Water bottle 

• Make it a habit to bring a towel every time you are in the gym. 
• Use a towel to dab away the sweat, so it does not fall on the equipment. 
• While you workout, it is obvious that you will sweat a lot. 
• Excessive sweating can cause dehydration. To avoid dehydration, keep a bottle of water with you always. 

Don't take too long 

• We know, running on a treadmill is fun and healthy, but you must remember that in the gym equipment has to be shared. 
• So, time yourself and step down from the machine when the time is up. 

Gym attire 

• Clothing is one of the most important things, when it comes to gyming. 
• Make sure you choose proper comfortable clothes, not too tight or too loose. 
• Ladies, be cautious, you don't want men to star at you, while you workout, so, choose well-fitted bras. 

Avoid eating too much 

• Don't fill your stomach with lots of calorie rich food before hitting the gym. 
• Working out with a full stomach will make you lethargic and give you stomach cramps. 

Think about yourself  and Avoid taking calls 

• In the gym, there might be men with amazing bodies and women with sexy bodies. But, don't try to copy their workouts. 
• Instead, just follow the workout that your trainer has created for you and you are bound to see results. 
• When working out, either switch off your phone or put it on silent. 
• Talking on the phone in the gym can be very distracting for other people and is considered bad gym etiquette. 

Check your vitals 

• Although you may deem this unnecessary, checking your physiological vitals is extremely important before taking up any form of exercise. 
• A quick check of your blood pressure, pulse rate and resting heart rate will ensure a smooth exercise regime.
