Things to Think About Before You Begin Training

Before you even step foot in a gym there are a few things that you need to think about if you are going to take bodybuilding seriously and see some impressive gains and start building muscle fast. Once you have got this check list out of the way, you will be able to start hitting the gym and transforming your body.

1. Are You Healthy? - This may sound like a strange question but it is important to make sure that you have not got any injuries or conditions that could become worse from lifting weights. If you are unsure about anything at all then you should consult a doctor before going ahead with any exercise program.
2. At Home Or The Gym? - Are you planning on joining a gym or doing all of your training at home? There are obviously pros and cons for each but it will just come down to what is easier for you. If training at home, don't think that you will have to spend thousands on gym equipment because when you are first starting out just having some dumbbells, barbell and a bench is easily good enough. Then if you fancy scaling your home gym up after a while then that is up to you.
3. Make It A Commitment - Often people set out thinking that they want to change their body so they join a gym, go religiously for about a month and then give it up because it is either too much work or they don't have the time. These people are just wasting their money on gym memberships and wasting their time if they are not willing to follow something through. So unless you are very determined to stick at it and not give up then there will be no point going any further.
4. Choosing A Program - The final part of the puzzle before you get down to the hard work is choosing a workout program that is going to be right for you! When I first started training I was following advice that I read in bodybuilding magazines and I got absolutely no where, If you are lucky enough to have the genetics for these types of workouts then great, but the reality is that most of us don't and these traditional bodybuilding workouts will not help us at all.

So, now that you have had a think about these things, are you still ready to start building muscle fast? Of course you are!

Train hard and never give up.
