Going to the gym for the first time does not have to be difficult.

Everyone has different reasons for joining the gym. And many people are worried about using the tools if they have never worked out in the gym before. These gym exercises for beginners are suitable for a variety of purposes, whether you want to lose weight or burn fat, build muscle and strength or improve your fitness.

As a beginner, how long should you work out?

Set a goal to continue the exercise program for 3 months. Building a long-term workout routine is about building good habits, which means giving your mind and body time to get used to doing something new.

Each exercise should take 45 minutes to 1 hour and you should always leave 24 hours between exercises to relax and recover.

How much weight should you lift?

As a beginner, the best thing you can do is start at the lower end of the weight spectrum and work your way up until you reach about 60/70% of your maximum limit (the maximum amount of weight you can lift by 1 repetition is a good form). That will give you a good idea of what to start with and you can gradually increase your weight gradually each week.

What are reps and sets?

A rep is how many times you repeat a task, and the set is how many repetitions you do. So if you lift 10 times on the pressure bench, that could be ‘one set of 10 reps’. If you take a short break and do the same again, you will have completed ‘two sets of 10 reps’.
