[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Join a gym. Hire a trainer to show you the ropes and get you started on a program.[/quote] Meh... I belonged to Washington Sports Clubs before the pandemic. The trainers there seemed to focus their programs on creating soreness in clients' muscles so they would think they had a workout rather than on teaching them good programming or form on the big compound lifts. I saw personal training clients do 1000 lateral raises (an isolation exercise targeting small muscles, usually with light weight) and curls (an ego exercise) for every bench press (a compound movement), and I NEVER saw personal training clients do squats or deadlifts. The few times I saw female clients doing bench, it was with an empty bar (week after week, month after month). Meanwhile, the women who learned for themselves (and the female trainers, when no clients were around) were pushing real weight and making gains. Caveat emptor.[/quote]
