Summary: Health and fitness is a necessity to keep us living long, fulfilled lives. But if we need it to live, why is it so damn hard? Because we unnecessarily make it that way!!! Whether you need to lose 50 pounds or just want to get back in shape, beginners can't expect to jump in head first and see instant results. That, more likely than not, may lead to really sore muscles, injuries, malnutrition, and a strong for exercise. I don't blame you. But there is a way for you to kick your program off easier --and correctly-- so you eventually do see lasting results. If you're getting your butt into shape for the first time, you need to initially take it slooooooow. Forget about what other people are doing! They may not have the same goals as you! Instead, start out with lighter, but challenging, weights that allow you to do higher repetitions while still feeling "the burn." No matter where you are now and what your goal is, EVERYONE should ALWAYS lift weights. To prevent injury that will keep you away from exercise even longer, use correct form while focusing on every movement and muscle you work. Also, perform compound movements. They work more than one muscle group and are great for conditioning yourself for overall performance. You want more? Click on my video to see what I'm talking about!
