Bodybuilding for the Beginner

You may choose to get fit at the local park Firstly most gyms will try to get you signed up on a 6 month or Yearly membership.
You should look around; check out the gym equipment and the staff.
Before you sign up you should ask how much support will be given with your diet and exercise plan.
Next the exercises need to be done with technique in mind.
Take a bench press, it is a core exercise.
It is easy to get carried away with weight and just drop it on your chest and drive up as fast as you can.
Begin slowly.
It has a lot to do with equalling out your body with the right and left side, your breathing, the amount of time you spend at the bottom and how long you take to push the weight up and rest then do it again.
Once you have mastered the technique then put your weights up slowly.
This way you can achieve more reps without injury.
