My Weekly Gym Routine

Starting off at the gym can be hard. You walk in and don’t know how to use any of the machines, you wonder around not knowing what to do first, it’s intimating. Now I’m no professional but I have been going to the gym the past couple of months and it’s one of those things where you learn something new everyday and there is ALWAYS something new to learn. The workouts I have listed below only include you, your body and a pair of dumbbells. The first week or two I would start off with some of these easier yet highly effective workouts that don’t involve any of the big cable machines you see around the gym. While you do these, this leaves you with a great opportunity to scout out you’re surroundings and observe others using some of the equipment, therefor you will have an idea of how to use them yourself when you feel comfortable and confident enough! Take a mat and a set of dumbbells and set up your area off to the side or at any corner on the gym. The gym is basically your playground.
