First-day questions, answered.
I've never worked out before. Can I start here?
That's who this is designed for. Use a comfortable range of motion and start with one round if needed. The last reps should take effort while still letting you maintain control. If you're unsure about a movement, ask a qualified trainer to demonstrate it.
What do I need for a home workout?
A clear space, a sturdy chair against a wall, and water. A mat is optional. The home routine uses bodyweight exercises.
How heavy should my gym weights be?
Begin very light. Choose a weight you can move smoothly for every repetition without straining or holding your breath. Learn the movement before increasing the weight.
Does this website cost anything?
