Here are some tips for the next time you’re at the gym:

Wear comfortable gym attire. Work-out attire should allow you to move freely. Consider fabrics that breath and keep you cool

Give yourself enough time. There are three parts to a workout: warm-up (5-10 minutes); workout/exercise (15-20 minutes); cool down (5-10 minutes).

Set realistic goals. Establish training goals or what I like to call action steps that are specific and appropriate for your fitness level.

Concentrate on your own program. This is time for you; concentrate on yourself and do what you need to do to achieve what you want to achieve.

Drink water. Keep hydrated. Dehydration can lead to fatigue, muscle weakness, and dizziness

Plan a balanced strength-training program. A training program trains all major muscle groups. Exercises need to be executed through a full range of motion. It is recommended that you seek the advice of a professional trainer to ensure that you are performing your exercises correctly

Use the proper form. Bad form leads to injury (periodic supervision by a professional trainer is recommended

Progress wisely. Exercising too hard/often may lead to drop out and/or injury. Gradual, steady progression is important (supervision by a professional trainer is recommended

Add variety to your workout. Change-up your workout routine. Keeping the same workout can lead to boredom, plateaus, and/or injury

Adjust machines to your body size. Exercise equipment is designed to accommodate different body types. Adjust machines to your size; this practice will prevent injury.

Cool down after your workout. At the end of your workout, cool down with stretching exercises. This practice will lower your heart rate and improve your flexibility

Practice gym etiquette. Do unto others… move away from the machine after you are finished; wipe your sweat from machines; be cordial

Avoid the all-or-nothing approach. A little exercise is better than no exercise at all – if you do not have time for one hour…a half- hour workout session is better than no session at all.

Train with a professional trainer. A one-on-one trainer will design a challenging program tailored to your needs. A trainer will take time to evaluate your fitness level, track your progress, ensure that you are performing the exercises correctly… and a trainer will give you that extra push

Haha now I want to go to the gym :P
