You will experience a certain amount of pain when you decide to undergo intense bodybuilding regimens.

When one is starting out this exciting, adrenalin pumping journey to fitness-a common mistake is to hit the gym too often. Over training has caused many to get burnt out quickly.

When you are in the gym, practice the necessary precautions for yourself and the other members training with you. Return the dumbbells you've used back to its racks and make sure that when you finish with a particular machine, the weight plates are properly kept and locked in place. Keep your head on especially as you pass by equipment with overhead bars, pulleys and cables. Wear the appropriate clothes and footwear and make plenty of space for the other trainers as they do their own exercises.

Regardless of the goal in mind, get your calories from healthy food like chicken, fish, nuts, whole wheat grains, etc. Increase your fluid intake particularly during workout days.
