Maybe you’ve been to the gym previously but never got into it enough to see results at the speed you wanted it, so you gave up. You are not alone; often, when people start a gym membership, they are disappointed when they don’t see any of the results that they wanted to achieve in the time limit you decide.
Before you even begin your membership, deciding on what benefits you want to see is a good starting point, so then you know what to work on. You don’t want to be using your time and energy working on your arms if you aren’t bothered about seeing results there. It means you can get right to it and work specifically in those areas.
Cardio
Using the cardio machines can be a great way of warming up or cooling down, but when you do, focus on the cardio machines that will get you results, you can keep track of your sessions and upgrading the time, speed or incline to improve your fitness levels which will show you results faster.
Classes
If you have any body pump or spin classes available at your gym, then this will help your body to have a fast-paced, high-intensity workout which you can squeeze in an evening or if you are sat down for most the day then taking up a class during the day to break it up and get the heart going. Some gyms will locate their spin class in a dark room with a DJ system and disco lights to get you in the mood to work harder.
