Gym

Going to the gym is one of the most vital things that people need to do when trying to lose weight. Having a gym membership is one of the best favours people can do for themselves when trying to lose weight and improve their quality of life. Its also a great way to meet people and make new friends. The more often you go to gym the more fit and healthy you will be.

With that in mind, its important to learn how to gym safely:

1. Always carry water, a towel, a phone, and a fruit bar with you to the gym. Most gym's have lockers so that you can ake a bag with of personal items that you might need. Remember to take a jumper to wear once you leave gym again.

2. Consider your age, weight, fitness levels and over-all goal. Do you need to consult a doctor or get a personal trainer? Your answers to these questions will determine how many times a week you will be gyming, as well as what type of exercises you will do.

3. The less fit you are, the more mild your initial exercises at gym should be. As you become more fit you can have a more varied and complete routine.

4. Beginners should aim for simply a mild walk on the treadmill to start with.

5. Gym is not only for the super fit and toned. Anyone can attend gym and most people are able to use a spa pool or sauna. Never stay in a spa pool or sauna for longer than fifteen and five minutes respectively if you are concerned about your health.

6. Do ask for advice from gym staff. They are there to help you.

7. Wear the correct gym gear, especially safe sporty footwear if you plan on running on the treadmill.

8. Always check the instructions on machines carefully, and know where emergency buttons are located.

9. Never leave small children unattended at the pool.

10. Always eat before you go to the gym, but wait a few first hours after eating before you go.
