You should know why you are going to start training. This is one of the most important steps in initiating a successful training program.
You should not go to the gym because somebody says, “Hey, you’re a slob. You ought to do some weight
training and get in shape.” That isn’t a good reason, because you would be trying to satisfy someone else’s wishes, not your own.
You should have a very good reason why you want to get into weight resistance training. The best thing to do is to sit down
and say to yourself, “What do I want to get out of it? What is my goal?”
Be honest. Honesty is the key to how much you can improve.
