Basic Workout Tips

Before I started working out I was always intimidated by everything in the gym. I had no clue what everything did or howto work the machine or how long to go on it. I also didn't know if i should be lifting weights and whether or not it would tone me or build muscles, which is not what I wanted. Now that I have seen a personal trainer for 2 years, I everything that I need to about weightless and muscle toning(only for girls). This is some simple starter advice that I have and that has helped me along the way.

To loss weight you must work out 6 days a week

Take one day off because your body needs rest sometimes, even pro athletes take a day off

Do cardio every single day, preferably running on the treadmill, but elliptical is fine too

Lift weights as well but don't do it everyday, do it every other day

work every single muscle group 3 times, such as biceps, triceps, quads, abs, etc.

you can work abs everyday as much as you would like

wear proper footwear or you can really ruin your feet and back

always stretch before and after your workout to warm up and cool down your muscles

if you are not a runner, start off slow and work your way up to it

don't push past muscle failure

if something hurts or doesn't feel right, stop what you are doing

make sure there is alot of protein in your diet

eat 6 small meals a day

These are the basics to working out and losing weight. This is just the beginning. It is best to educate yourself on your body and machines in the gym before working out to prevent injury.
