Am I working out correctly?!


Question:

Am I working out correctly?

I started last week on lifting weights and doing aerobic exercises. I'm not worried about the aerobic part, but my weight lifting usually consists of 2 sets of 10 reps each on every machine for my upper body and lower body. I also do some free weights which usually totals up to me spending from 45 minutes to an hour in the weight room. After that, I come home and make a protein drink.

So is everything good? Usually I hear people say they spend an hour to hour half in the weight room. I don't know if they do more reps, sets, or rest more then me.


Answers:

i do 3 sets of 8reps to help build mass,but if your just getting started maybe you'll do less the main thing is to remmeber
1 you cant do it all over night
2 set you'r own pace/dont worry about the other guy
3 never skip make it part of a solid routeen

everyone isnt built the same or have the same genetics
so you have to get a routine that works for you
start simple curls, squats, press and such
as you gain gym time youll start to see you'r gains and what you need to work on
i also keep a journal what i did what time some times my late workout is better than my early workouts
seem to have more energy at end of day but one of my buddys is the oposite says if he dosnt get there in the morning he wont make it
relax enjoy make sure you stretch very important before during and after
as well as remmeber that most health clubs know that people join then get sore most of the time they over did it and don't come back.
start slow and pay attention to form,then work up to heavy weights
