You’ve decided to get started on your fitness journey, get into the gym, and start working out. That’s great! Every journey has to start somewhere, and making that decision is the first step. Before you walk into the gym though, it’s a good idea to have some knowledge under your belt. Here’s the top 10 workout tips that you need to know before you get started.

1. Don’t Worry About Everyone Else

Anyone who starts out on a workout plan has the same thought: ‘Everyone in this gym is looking at me.’ It’s intimidating, but the fact of the matter is, they really aren’t. In fact, the others in the gym will be worrying about the exact same thing, no matter how they look or how much of an expert they are.

2. Ask For Help

Andrea Deacon, fitness writer at Top Canadian Writers, says: ‘The first time I walked into a gym, I had no idea what I was doing. Luckily, the staff there were helpful and showed me around when I asked them for help.’ Don’t be afraid to ask for help from gym staff. After all, that’s what they’re there for.

3. Don’t Forget Your Diet

Remember, going to the gym or working out is only one part of a good fitness program. As well as this, you need to ensure that you’re eating healthily. A good diet will look slightly different for everyone, but a good rule of thumb is to ensure you eat plenty of whole foods, fruits, and vegetables. Supplements, such as the ones available at Body Building, can help you with your fitness goals too.

4. Take It Easy At First

If you’ve never been in the gym before, don’t feel the pressure to start using all the equipment. Start out just by doing some simple stretches, that will help you get warmed up. If you’re feeling brave on your first day, you can then go and walk on the treadmill for 20 minutes, just so you can get a feel for it. If you start out simple, you’re setting yourself up for success.

5. Make It A Habit

It takes 21 days to create a habit, and the same goes for working out. No matter what you’re doing, make sure you’re consistent about it. No matter how much you don’t feel like it, make sure you hit the gym. The more you keep it up, the more you’ll find you enjoy it.

6. Learn From Your Mistakes

No one is perfect, not even that gym bunny doing squats in the corner. If you make a mistake, don’t beat yourself up about it. Everyone has been there. Instead, pick yourself up and learn from what you did.

7. Learn About Your Muscles

If you’re serious about getting fit, you’re going to need to learn more about your muscles and how they work. Learn about the muscle groups you’re targeting, and find the best workouts that will benefit them.

8. Take Your Time

No matter what your plan is, take your time moving through it. You’re anxious to start moving forward, and that’s understandable. However, if you rush ahead before you’re really ready, you’re only setting yourself up for a fall. Instead, only move on when you’re really capable of doing so.

9. Take Notes

When you start your routine, take notes of what you’re doing. How many reps can you do? How far can you run? This gives you a good starting point, and helps you create attainable goals. If you feel you can push yourself, you can make a note of how much further you can go, too.

10. Consider Working With A Fitness Instructor

If you really feel clueless, that’s ok. What you can do is book a few sessions with a fitness instructor. They can show you around the gym, help you set attainable goals, and get you started. Working with an expert can help you start off on the right foot.

These tips should help you make the most of your fitness journey. Start out small, and build yourself up to greater things. Everyone had to start somewhere, and you’re doing more than most people, so be proud of yourself! Before long, you’ll see a real improvement in your fitness levels.
