Cardio apparel: Verify it has cycles and elipticals. If it doesn’t have a cardio zone, it won’t be easy you oxide fat or having optimus warming-up.

Barbells: Handlers must be in good condition.

Wide Space: Verify it. The ideal is working out not feeling how your classmate sweats beside.

Some gyms have a nutritionist, who is independent from the trainer. It’s not a waste of time to verify his or her professional certification.

The first days: if it is your first time at a gym, it will turn quite hard and it is probably you’ll feel scared because it is something new or unknown for you. But take it easy!

Don’t forget to carry a towel, water, deodorant and extra clothes.

Basic moves: The first one you have to do is warming up to avoid your articulations and fibers get wounded, because you have to prepare them for a strongest exercise , to you aren’t accostummed yet.

Ride the cycle or walk on eliptical during 10-15 minutes.

After classes:  When you finish, take a relaxing bath, wear clean clothes and go eating inmediatly. Your body is in a critic point, so it needs fuel, urgently. It needs food & protein to put again what you lost by working out.

Pain is normal: It is usual your body be completely achy for the second or the third day, even you don’t want to get back to the gym. Take it easy! It’s normal!
