It is also a question of achieving optimum development in our environment that is as healthy as possible.

However, women have a different organism than men, which means that their exercise must be changed.

A routine for beginner women has to make us burn fat and gain strength in specific places.

Something that usually happens is that going to the gym is something that gives you a new and strange feeling.

That is because most of them are made up of men, without forgetting that they have a lot of machines and equipment that you won’t have any idea what they are for and how to use them.

However, this is not the time to repent. It is a crucial moment to learn and explore these new experiences.

Fitness routines for beginner girls should be demanding, but simple. Initially, the body is about getting used to the new physical activity.

That’s why it’s normal for your muscles and joints to hurt during the first week.

How to start at the gym?

  • At first, you need a simple but effective program. You must do the entire program on the same day. That should consist of basic exercises designed to work a specific area of the body.
  • For the first three months, I suggest you train three days a week. That will allow you to experience fitness without undue fatigue.
  • Learning the technique of the exercises is critical. That is done during the first three months, discovering how the weights move better. That is crucial if you are a beginner.
  • Warm-up properly in each of your sessions. You can do this externally by taking a warm shower or bath first or internally by stretching carefully and doing light activities.
  • Warm-up properly before each exercise. When you start each exercise, always use a lightweight to warm up the muscles for that particular movement.
  • Take it easy at first. Doing too much at first can delay progress and over train before your system adjusts to overloads. Sleep, rest, and recovery are essential for beginners.

 

How much weight should I use?

As a beginner, you should use light weights or even just your bodyweight so that you can learn the technique and not get hurt or have excessive stiffness.

For example, in squats, you should do 12 to 15 repetitions. If you can do 20 with ease, the weight is too light.

If you’re only capable of doing 6, the weight is too heavy. You always have to adjust it to your capacity and needs.

How many exercises do I have to do?

What exercises do I have to do?

An average beginner will learn the fundamental exercise techniques quite well in a month or so. After that time, you will be able to do more complicated exercises such as heavy squats or dumbbell openings.

  • Do one to three different exercises for each muscle group.
  • Perform a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 3 or 4 sets per exercise.
  • The repetitions should range between 10 and 15. In calves and abdominals, you can do many more.
  • I recommend that after the cardio, you start with a large muscle group such as the legs.

What exercises should I do?

A beginner should only do basic exercises to develop the whole body and acquire the technical basis necessary to continue with more advanced programs.

If you train three alternate days per week and do one to three sets per exercise, I suggest that you do no more than 10 to 11 basic exercises.

The best exercises for a girl who starts in the gym are:

  • Cardio.
  • The squats.
  • Biceps curl.
  • Triceps extensions.
  • Dorsal pull-down.
  • Peck Deck machine.
  • Abdominals.

You must do the exercises in a specific order, starting with those that require more energy.

This routine for beginners is for three days. You can distribute them as you want, always with a rest in between.

We always recommend that when you start in the gym, you train on alternate days during the first month.

For example, it would be ideal for training on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, resting on Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

That will be the table you should follow during the first month of training in the gym. In the second one, we will change it for greater effectiveness.
