8 STEPS TO START GYM
Do you want to start exercising in the gym? If so, it looks like you should start reading my writing,
1. Finding Knowledge about the Gym
Before starting the gym at the fitness center, it's a good idea to seek as much knowledge as possible about sports from various sources. Magazines, books, articles on the internet, or exercise videos on Youtube that discuss about the gym for beginners you can get easily nowadays. Some fitness icons such as Ade Rai, Jansen Ongko, Halim Tsiang, Adrian Maulana, Chef Edwin, Bobby Ida, or Akram Askar often share their knowledge about fitness, gym and routine food patterns on their social media. Even some of them have written books about this. Usually gym beginners like you will feel confused with good examples of movement. Well, these inspirators give their knowledge to you. So, enrich your knowledge first before starting the gym.
2. Creating an Exercise Schedule
Make a training schedule and obey. Within a week, you are recommended to practice a maximum of 4 times a week because you are new to beginners. If you are more proficient, it can be up to 5 or 6 times a week. Well, the schedule can be like this; Monday you train your chest, triceps, and upper abdomen, Tuesday you practice your back, biceps, and lower abdomen, Thursday exercises your legs, shoulders and side abdomen, and Fridays that you train your chest, triceps and stomach. Then obey the schedule you have arranged.
3. Make Realistic Targets
What body goals do you want to achieve? Is it like the big Ade Rai filled with chunks of muscle? Or like the health magazine models that have lean muscle? Or ... this is especially for you Kompasianer women, you want to have a toned, plump and athletic body like Melanie Putria, Maria Selena, or Kamidia Radisty? Set realistic targets, Kompasianer. I mean, if you want to reduce your body fat for those of you who feel fat, the realistic target is you can go down 1-1.5 kg per week. Instead of going down 5 kg a week huh. While for those of you who want to increase muscle mass, adding muscle mass of 500 grams a week is still realistic.
4. Maintain Food Nutrition
Yup, keep food nutrition, Kompasianer. The main rule is "High in protein, carbohydrate medium, and low in fat". And this is the hardest thing, Kompasianer, hehe. But that does not mean that it is a reason not to regulate and maintain food nutrition.
5. Supplements? See again huh
Well, these supplements have always been the most frequently asked questions by beginners, such as "What is the fastest supplement to grow muscle?". As the name implies, supplements are food additives. So, set your diet first, Kompasianer, because the supplement is just an addition.
6. Become a Member
Being a member at the gym will force you to practice. Because it will love the money you spend to pay for membership if you do not use the membership. Is not it?
7. Look for a Buddy Gym
What is a gym buddy? Gym buddy is a fellow member at the gym where you practice, which you can invite to practice together. By having a buddy gym, you will feel you have a debt appointment with your gym buddy when you neglect your training schedule at the gym. In addition, this buddy gym will be a parameter of your success in training, such as he has already participated in a body contest, you can make him an inspiration to also be able to participate in the same race.
8. Discipline and Patience
These two things you have to do all the time, Kompasianer. Remember, all businesses must have processes, nothing is instant except noodles and porridge, hehe. So, if you haven't got a change in your body for a week, just be patient. Evaluate your exercise patterns, diet, and resting hours, Kompasianer. Then grow your enthusiasm again to practice. I used to lose 12 kg in the first time and took 3 months, because my target was not only to lose weight, Kompasianer, but also increase muscle mass. So, enjoy the process
