I don't Know what to do at the Gym?

 

The Gym the Box is a place to improve yourself

 

not because there is anything wrong with you. but because it has the tools to make you stronger / Faster/ Learner and fitter!

 

So What should you focus on if you are not sure about what you are doing?

 

First :

Technique

Focus of mastering your body awareness and being able to move pain free through a full range of movement in some of the basics like, squats/ push ups / pull ups/ Running and skipping

 

Then focus on learning good technique of exercises

 

Second :

Focus on your goals!

if your goals are weight loss make sure you to train Hard and Eat well

 

Remember 6 packs are created with 3 sets of don't put that Krispy Kreme in your mouth!

 

Third :

Intensity in your Training

 

You get what you put out to make sure you put out a lot in your training and that you don't waste your time in the gym, remember every second counts and every repetition counts

 

Fourth

Recovery!

Train Hard? Rest Hard!

 

This means make sure you are getting adequate amount of sleep

make sure you fuel yourself after training with some healthy carbohydrates and proteins

 

Make sure you stretch / mobilize and Foam roll

 

and.....

 

Include active Recovery days in your Training

 

Active recovery is a fancy word for move it or be sore

 

to by pass soreness and stiffness make sure to maintain yourself moving everyday in one way or another it doesn't mean a gym work out, sometimes a simple stroll down the park, a light easy job, some time on a rower or a bike might be the answer you are after!

 

Fifth

:*This does not apply to all!

Constantly set goals for yourself

one of the simple keys of success in life and in anything is Raising your standards

so continually Raise the Standards of what you think you are capable of
