The Beginner Gym Go'er Workout.

Come on, hands up!

What does an average session at the gym look like for you?

Let me guess, 10 minutes at a slow pace on a treadmill, add another 10 minutes on a stationary bike, and then if you feel up to it you'll add 10 minutes on the cross trainer.

Does that sound familiar?

For a beginner, despite what the norm will think, doing the average workout can become detrimental to your fitness goals due to a few reasons.

First off, it can cause injuries. If your injured you can't train. If you can't train then your fitness goals are going to be a heck of a lot harder to reach.

In the initial 6 weeks of a training program for a beginner, there is up to a 90% chance of picking up an injury.

You see, the musculoskelatal system is very easily OVER-trained when it is de-conditioned. A beginner does way too much cardiovascular (CV) work which places too much stress on your musculoskelatal system resulting in too much overload which will cause an injury.

How can this be avoided?

To start with, most beginners are overweight. Every overweight person has very little structure with posture and muscle balance etc, so a training program that targets these weaknesses will help align everything up in the correct form.

A resistance program targets the muscular system and that controls your rest periods in order to create a cardiovascular style workout whilst getting you stronger and reducing the chance of injury.

At Boro Boot Camp we do hardly no running whatsoever, and specifically get each and everyone of you stronger whilst you burn fat and get fitter than ever.
