F.A.Q.
Since there are so many people that are looking to change their body, but not sure exactly where to start, I would like to answer some of the most common questions women ask when it comes to weight training.
How much cardio should I be doing?
The amount of cardio you should do depends on your fitness goals. Generally, it is recommended to aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity cardio or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity cardio per week.
What is the best way to lose fat?
A combination of regular exercise, including both cardio and strength training, along with a balanced and healthy diet is the best way to lose fat. Consistency is key
How much weight should I be lifting?
The weight you lift should challenge your muscles without compromising your form.
Start with lighter weights and gradually increase as you get stronger. Aim for 8-12 repetitions per set.
Should I stretch before my workouts?
Dynamic stretching before a workout can help warm up your muscles and improve flexibility.
Save static stretching for after your workout to help with cool down and flexibility.
How can I overcome feeling intimidated by the gym environment?
It’s common to feel intimidated at the gym, especially as a beginner. Here are a few tips to help overcome gym intimidation:
- Start with a gym orientation: Many gyms offer orientations to familiarize newcomers with the equipment and facilities.
- Go during off-peak hours: Visiting the gym during less crowded times can help you feel more comfortable.
- Start with simple exercises: Begin with exercises you’re familiar with and gradually explore new equipment and workouts.
- Consider hiring a personal trainer: A trainer can provide guidance, support, and help you feel more confident in the gym environmen
What can I do to overcome the fear of judgment from others?
The fear of judgment is common, but it’s important to remember that most people at the gym are focused on their own workouts. Consider these strategies:
- Use headphones: Listening to music or podcasts can help you stay focused and create a personal workout zone.
- Find a workout buddy: Having a supportive friend or partner can provide a sense of security and make the gym experience more enjoyable.
- Remind yourself of your purpose: Focus on your own goals and the positive reasons why you’re working on your fitness.
What if I don't know how to use the equipment or perform certain exercises?
Learning how to use gym equipment and perform exercises correctly is crucial. Here’s what you can do:
- Ask for help: Don’t hesitate to ask gym staff for guidance on using equipment or seek assistance from a personal trainer.
- Start with bodyweight exercises: If you’re unsure about using certain machines, begin with bodyweight exercises that require minimal equipment.
- Follow instructional videos: Many reputable fitness websites and apps offer instructional videos demonstrating proper exercise form.
