Planning to hit the gym, but have no idea where to begin?Don’t worry, we have created a step by step guide to help transform you into a gym bunny. From gym clothes to gym etiquette, we have covered it all.
1- Get familiar:
Take a tour of your gym and get familiarised with all the equipment. Ask the gym staff, on how various equipment works and what precautions, if any, need to be taken.
2- Hygiene:
Hygiene is a first thing you should maintain, during your workout and before hitting the gym. It is evident that you will sweat during your workout, still make sure, you enter the gym premises clean, by taking a shower in order to keep the bad odour away.
3- Ask for help:
Your gym may be equipped with several new and advanced technologies. So, remember to ask a trainer for a demonstration before you use that particular piece of equipment.
4-Warm up:
Before getting onto any machines, make sure you include a warm up session as part of your training. A warm up will prevent gym injuries and prepare your body for rigorous training.
5- Bring a towel:
Make it a habit to bring a towel every time you are in the gym. Use a towel to dab away the sweat, so it does not fall on the equipment.
6- Water bottle:
While you workout, it is obvious that you will sweat a lot. Excessive sweating can cause dehydration. To avoid dehydration, keep a bottle of water with you always.
7- Keep the equipment back in its place :
If you take a piece of equipment to use during your workout, make sure you place it back, so that, other people don’t have to hunt around for it.
8- Don’t take too long:
We know, running on a treadmill is fun and healthy, but you must remember that in the gym equipment has to be shared. So, time yourself and step down from the machine when the time is up.
9- Gym attire:
Clothing is one of the most important things, when it comes to gyming. Make sure you choose proper comfortable clothes, not too tight or too loose. Ladies, be cautious, you don’t want men to star at you, while you workout, so, choose well-fitted bras.
