What’s a good gym workout for a beginner?
Mar.18, 2010 in
abs beginner
Just joined the gym and haven’t worked out in a while. What is a good workout for the first month while I get into the groove? I’d prefer to do the same thing every day (cardio, abs, core) rather than spending different days on specifics.
Also – please don’t say get a trainer as I cannot afford one.

Hi,
I used to struggle trying to figure out what to do in the gym too. Here’s a good site I found that really helped. It gave me great workouts and tips and showed me what I was doing wrong before…

I would say begin with walking on the tredmill for about 30 min everyday. After you become comfortable with this try increasing the time, but only when you are comfortable. If you are ready to challenge yourself this the best thing to do is keep walking but increase the incline on the treadmill. Talk about a work out, that incline will make you sweat. Walk every day and start eatting health, surely you will see some results. Good luck

ehh… do you really need a gym… you can always stay home, do pushups, situps with just a mat rather than paying a fee
