Your first week at the gym: a simple plan for beginners
Three short workouts, what to wear and what to eat, so your first week is easy and safe.
By Coach Hamza Rauf, Iron Fit Gym (demo)
The first week is about learning, not lifting heavy. Come three times, learn the machines and leave feeling like you could do more.
The plan
- Day 1: 10 min walk, machine circuit, 5 min stretch
- Day 3: 10 min bike, dumbbell basics with a coach
- Day 5: join a beginner class, then a slow walk
What to bring
Comfortable clothes, clean trainers, a water bottle and a small towel. Lockers are free.
Eat simply
Eat a light meal 1 to 2 hours before training, like roti with daal or a banana with yoghurt. Drink water through the day.
