The gym often intimidates beginners, but there’s no reason for that! The machines and weights can be daunting, but all that newbies need to do is do a little homework before starting. Beginners should avoid trying complex exercises or heavy lifting if they aren’t sure how to perform them with correct form. Trying to do a heavy squat or deadlift incorrectly can lead to serious injury, so it’s recommended to start with some simpler movements and learn proper form before moving on to heavier weights.
