Stop wasting your time - Get a PT!

Many people who workout - maybe the majority - really don't know what they're doing in the gym. It's sad but true. Millions of people spend hours in the gym getting very little done and often risking injury in the process.

Here's an example:

Walk into any gym in America and I guarantee you'll see at least half a dozen guys doing 'cable flyes' for their chests. Well, the cable fly isn't necessarily a 'bad' exercise. It has it's place... in an advanced bodybuilding workout.

But, in reality, flyes do very little for the average person (ie someone who hasn't already packed on a good amount of muscle mass by doing 'real' chest exercises: bench press, dips, pushups, etc.) They are a 'shaping' exercise that doesn't add muscle or increase functional strength. On top of that, it's very easy to hurt yourself if you don't do them with perfect form (and most people don't).

Yet millions of weightlifting 'newbies' perform cable flyes - and dozens of other dumb exercises that don't help them - on a weekly basis! These people are simply wasting their time and energy.

Strength training is vitally important for overall fitness and health. But it's also vitally important to learn how to strength train properly. I strongly suggest anyone just starting out - or anyone not getting the results they desire - find a good personal trainer in their area. She/he can show you the most effective exercises to reach your personal fitness goals and teach you the proper way to do them!

Even one or two sessions with a personal trainer can save you from years of time-wasting in the gym, lousy results, and nagging injuries!
