QUICK TIPS
- All machines have diagrams stating the major and minor muscles being worked on.
- The first thing to look out for is the adjustment levers, which usually are bright coloured so that they stand out.
- How heavy should you lift? The weights should be heavy enough to fatigue your muscles within 8 - 15 repetitions, but not too heavy that you struggle to complete a full range of motion.
- If you are new to the movements, you can always start slightly lighter and slowly increase the weight as you get more comfortable with the machines.
GYM MACHINES
1. Seated Row
2. Seated Chest Press.
3. Leg Extension
4. Seated Leg Curl
5. Shoulder Press
6. Pec Fly
7. Rear Delt
8. Assisted Pull-up
9. Assisted Tricep Dip
10. Captain's Chair Leg Raise

If you ask the gym trainers, they would teach you for 10 mins and then bombard you with personal training plans for 2 hours lol

Is it a waste of money in your opinion? I plan to get personal training, but I feel like I might waste money, especially it’s so expensive.

@Lightwing 4 жыл бұрын

@@Alice-km1hv I would go for 6 sessions at least just so you got a workout to follow and some layout on what you need to work on. My mother has one and kept up with the sessions post-knee replacement and she loves it.

These instructional videos are a life saver Joanna! Now I will be able to go into my gym without being clueless on what to do. A followup question I have is does it matter what order of muscles you start working out? I know some guys joke about "leg day" and I was wondering if some people just work out certain muscles each day.

Almost made me quit going to gym the 1st day bec of sheer awkwardness. 🙄🙄 But I still go to that gym because I believe that champions are once nobodies who comes and conquers their day, everyday 👍 Thanks for the video!
