Ever walked into the gym and felt like you weren't really sure what you were doing?
You jump on the bike for 10 minutes becauseโฆ well, it's better than doing nothing.
Then you finish your 10 minutes and leave wondering whether you've actually achieved anything.
First of all โ that's completely normal.
A lot of people don't know exactly what they should be doing in the gym, or how their workout should change over time.
The important thing is to start with what you're actually trying to achieve.
Want to get fitter?
The bike can be a great place to start.
Do 10 minutes at a set level. Once that becomes easier, increase the duration.
Or, if your goal is to get faster and stronger, increase the resistance or your pace.
Give yourself something to work towards.
Want to build muscle and change the shape of your arms?
You probably don't need to spend your workout on the bike.
You need to train your arms and upper body โ and, just as importantly, have a plan for improving.
If you're doing curls with 5kg every time you come into the gym, with no plan to increase the reps, weight or quality of your training, you're not really working towards anything.
Your workout should have a purpose.
It doesn't need to be complicated.
Pick a goal.
Choose exercises that help you achieve it.
Then find ways to gradually improve.
It's completely normal not to know exactly what to do when you first start.
But once you understand what you're trying to achieve, your time in the gym becomes a lot more purposeful.
And if you're not sure where to start, that's exactly where we can help.
