Workout As A Beginner

The first thing that you should do as a beginner is to weigh yourself, whether your goal is to burn calories or gain muscle. You need see where you are physically so if you have a goal you know where you started and can simply tell if you are gaining muscle or burning fat. A key is you do NOT want to lose 8-10 pounds a month if this is your specific goal because you begin tapping into your muscle tissue and that is not good. A good way to tell if your gaining muscle is your metabolism will increase and if you lose muscle, it will sincerely slow down. Don't get discouraged if you are gaining weight while starting at the gym; this is due to losing fat and building muscle at the same time.

Say you only lose 4 pounds of fat and gain 2 pounds of muscle, they scale will only show you the 2 pound difference. Your motivation should not come from the scale, but who you see in the mirror. Don't jump on the scale every day because you will get discouraged, but try every couple weeks to see your numbers fluctuate. Seeing your number go up and down will encourage you to go to the gym consistently. Stay focus and remember to keep your head high with your dedication, devotion and determination to accomplishing your goals. Everything worth having in life takes time and this is one of those times! Keeping this in mind, I promise you will see great results!
