Gym training tips for beginners
If you started the gym, it is for something, and although it will not be easy and it will take you some time to begin to notice the changes, and these increasingly visible results will fill you with pride in yourself. You just have to give yourself the opportunity and some time to achieve it.
Prepare yourself on a mental and emotional level for change
Weight training uses an additional expenditure of energy, not only at the body level but also at the mental level.
All experts, including the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger, have repeated throughout their careers that using weights requires being mentally prepared to master the rigors of training.
And in this sense, I hope that the following tips aimed at developing that fitness attitude will help you prepare for your training day.
Keep a positive attitude in training
If you take the training session as a regret, you will not even live a month in the gym.
You can give your energy, vitality and confidence a boost by remembering your initial goal, ask yourself what motivated you to join a gym?
Keep in mind that, whatever training you do, it will only bring well-being and not only on a physical level eh, your mood will improve a lot.
Trust me, change that attitude from “I have to” to “what I want is”, and thus motivation will not be any problem that you have to face.
You are your only opponent just compare yourself with yourself
Virtually all bodybuilders have a habit of comparing themselves to others (and in general, the comparison is not in their favor). And this approach is more irrational than realistic.
Due to differences in age, genetic predisposition, preferences and specific abilities of each, some may excel in some fields and others fail in others or vice versa.
No one can excel at all levels. The only rival you should really compare yourself to… is yourself or your own version from days, weeks or months ago!
Set short and long-term goals
Humans are the only animal capable of setting goals and guiding their future to get the best out of it in the long run.
And a poorly defined or unrealistic plan can produce vague and inefficient responses.
So, a good help could be to write your goals and progress in a training journal, doing it as often as possible.
For this, do not hesitate to talk to a coach or one of your gym references, the idea is to start taking the appropriate measures, so that the training goals, both short and long term, can be met and you never lose sight of them.
How long do i have to train?
Training regularity is very closely related to mental conditioning and it is essential to establish a realistic and goal-based training frequency.
When a serious bodybuilder determines his goals, each workout is one more step he takes toward getting closer to the final goal.
And even more so for athletes who compete, if they miss a session, they are likely to think that somewhere there is another competitor progressing and they are not missing any session!
You, who are just starting out, do not need to take the matter so seriously, at least not until it becomes a habit.
That is why it is important to establish a real training frequency, it will help you complete your workouts according to your goals and will also prevent you from getting saturated by having to train too often (something very bad for your development as well).
Look for a gym ameno and that meets your needs
As every bodybuilding lover spends a good part of their free time in the gym, it is necessary that that moment be as pleasant as possible and that the place meets your expectations.
There are several things that can boost your mood at the training site. and one of the most important is the fresh air available and the good vibes among the rest of the practitioners.
A stale atmosphere can generate some loss of energy, it does not happen to everyone but for those who are just starting this is usually a disadvantage.
So, try to exercise in a well-ventilated room with a friendly environment, as long as you can.
