Although these posts are created to help you push yourself to achieve your goals, remember to take breaks in between and during workouts in order to allow your body to rest and recover in good time. There’s no point causing injury because that will only set you back. Take care of yourselves, because your wellbeing comes first.
Here’s a little something we wrote on our blog. Hope you’ll find it useful whether you’re fitness pro or newbie as we all used to be :)
Walking into a gym with guys who are ripping their T-shirts with muscles can be a tad intimidating for a noob. Maybe it’s not a tad either. When I first stepped into a gym with a fitness routine plan that involved tons of exercises that I was able to perform for the first time in my life, I was a confused mess. What made it even scarier is that this was the first time in my life that I had paid for a gym membership. I had no clue how things work.
What would happen if my form was incorrect?
Would someone scream at me if I left a sweat puddle on the bench (eww) after my presses?
Me in the gym for the first time ( I don’t know why the gif won’t work here, but I’ll leave it anyway :D
That sounds gross to me after spending a couple of years in a gym. But honestly, I had these thoughts nagging at the back of my mind when I was about to step into a gym for the first time.
And it makes me wonder if others will be facing the same conundrum as I once did.
So, here’s a list of things that I wish I’d knew as a gym noob. Call it etiquettes or basics of muscle building, knowing these things will make your life easier when you are about to venture into your fitness crusade.
The moral of this story is summer can ruin a summer body. This porky lad was preparing all year for summer, working out and getting lean… and over the course of a few weeks he’s piled the weight back on and some. Too much time drinking at parties. Eating pizza and stuffing his greedy face. Now look at him!
The tubby lad looks pregnant! All the weight has hit his belly, and hit it hard! You can see where his upper body is in shape but his middle has swollen out like a fat balloon. Good bye V shaped physique this chubby lad needs to lay off the pizza and the snacks for a while or he’s gonna get questions about his due date!
Now he has to head back to work looking like this! Fat, pot bellied and everyone can clearly see he overindulged this summer. You can imagine the conversations in the staff kitchen, ‘have you seen his gut? I had to cover my eyes in case one of those buttons shot off’… there’s no hiding that belly fat boy! Maybe try Spanx for men tubby
He deserves to be teased about his fat pot belly. He’s clearly in denial trying to squeeze into his pre summer clothes!
