should you expect? And what should you be doing in there?
This book is written to help you through the first few weeks of joining a gym and getting used to working out. It’s full of tips for the beginner:
• Discover the basics of how different exercises work, so you can choose the ones right for you and get the most out of them
• Find out why those gym machine fat-burning programmes don’t deliver what they promise – and learn what works
• Understand why all those heart-rate zones printed on gym machines aren’t likely to help you – and find out how hard you should be working
• Understand how gyms work and how instructors can help you
• Build your gym confidence, get the exercise habit and feel great!
(If you’re already exercising regularly at the gym, have a look at Gym Smart: Short cuts to savvy workouts).
Rachel Hallett is a former gym instructor, aerobics instructor and personal trainer who’s gone from exercise-phobic to marathon runner and gym-lover. She’s currently in the final stages of a PhD in psychology, researching how music can help motivate people to stick to their exercise plans.
