Layfhaker was already full training program for beginners who are planning to be engaged without a coach. This article will be discussed other aspects of the use of the gym: how to dress, what to bring and what not to do better, so as not to disturb the unspoken rules of etiquette.
How to dress
StudyEnclothed cognition. It proved that the clothing has a direct impact on the psychological processes. Things can set you on the right footing, increase attentiveness and composure.
It is not necessary to wear to the gym thing, not intended for sports, even if you are comfortable in them. Buy sports clothing, it does not cost too much. Not necessarily choose the expensive things from famous brands, but if you want to appear in the hall of Nike or Adidas, check discount centers: they can buy cheap clothes from the giants of sports fashion.
For women: Sports jersey or shirt of synthetic fabrics, leggings or shorts, a sports bra, sneakers. You can do and just in the sports topic, shirtless. But remember that if you do burpee, will have to lie down naked on his stomach on the floor.
For men: Sports T-shirts, shorts, leggings or pants, shoes. Some believe that men should wear compression tights with shorts on top.
But of course, such rules do not exist, so if you want, wear tights without shorts and just ignore condemning the views of some visitors trenazhorki.
For more tips on how to choose the sports things, you will find in this article.
What to bring
1. Towel
Some fitness clubs towels are provided at the reception, but not in all. Therefore, just in case, take it with you on the first training session. Towel handy to wipe the sweat and underlay under him on the bench for hygiene.
2. Cup of water
Now, almost any sports club there are coolers with water, but to drink from plastic cups is not very convenient. Carry sports clubs much more convenient - and harder to throw water on your own or other people's telephones, spread out on a curbstone, shelves and window sills.
3. Ready Workout Plan
Record in a notebook or in the notes on the phone workout plan: warm-up exercises with the number of sets and repetitions, stretching. Watch the video with the correct techniques of selected exercises. So you come in the room and will not be prepared to hang from the trainer to the trainers, not knowing what to do.
How to behave
Put the equipment in place
This is one of the hallmarks of good taste: disassemble the bar and get all the pancakes in place, put the dumbbells on the rack, remove for a yoga mat.
If everyone is throwing equipment where finished watching and have a long time to look around the room desired dumbbell or rope.
Therefore, in order not to exacerbate the disorder and not catch yourself indignant glances, remove the place of all that took to the workout.
Engaged in a suitable zone
Gyms are divided into zones, which are identical in almost all institutions:
- cardio zone, where there is a treadmill, exercise bike, an ellipse;
- exercise area with free weights - next to the reception with dumbbells;
- area for stretching and relaxation - there are massage rollers and balls, mats, expanders;
- platform, which perform lifter exercise;
- zones for group lessons - usually they are separate rooms with mirrors.
Try to do the exercises in areas which are designed for this purpose. If you sit in the stretch zone, where people are engaged with dumbbells, you will stop them and look odd.
Share equipment
If a person is waiting for a simulator or a dumbbell, with whom you are doing, you can invite him to do the exercise in between your approach while you relax. It is normal practice, especially during peak hours when the trainers are constantly busy.
Do not leave behind a puddle of sweat
When the bench is still a pool of sweat after a person's past, it's just a horror as disgusting. Therefore, if you have excessive sweating, always place a towel on the bench, or at least wipe the sweat behind - many rooms have napkins.
Always wash clothes after a workout
Smell good - this can be attributed to the rules of etiquette at the gym, but in spite of modern hygiene, there are always those who violate this rule.
If you put on clothes to practice, throw it into the washing machine immediately after returning home - no matter how intense was the load, you sweat a lot or "quite a bit".
Incidentally, this is one more reason to buy a normal sports things: Unlike cotton T-shirts and shorts, they do not fade and do not stretch by frequent washings.
That's all. Do not break the rules of etiquette, be polite and do not hesitate to ask the athletes and coaches how to deal with simulators, where to get the necessary equipment and be sure to correctly perform some exercises - many will be happy to help you.
