Exercises for Beginner Bodybuilders

The type of exercises for beginner bodybuilders you choose will depend you and your personal fitness goals.  We've been talking about home gyms and bodybuilding equipment for beginners.  The decision you have made in this area will determine which exercises you should start with.

There are a wide variety of different exercises that can target the same muscle group and achieve the same result.  This allows you to choose a variation that you find most comfortable or enjoy doing.  The more you enjoy your bodybuilding routine the more likely you are to stick with it and more importantly perform the exercises correctly.

While gaining muscle mass is the main objective for those beginning to body build it is critical that you do not overlook the importance of cardio to your regimen.  It doesn't matter if you choose to run, swim, stairmaster or otherwise, you need to have a strong heart to endure the strain of the heavy lifting you will be doing.

Regardless of the exercises you are doing you need to remember to start slow and pace yourself.  You will not meet your bodybuilding goals if you are laid up with an injury by trying to accomplish to much too quickly.  As your body becomes more accustomed to the strain you are subjecting it to, you can them ramp up the intensity.  But still accelerate slowly.  Bodybuilding for beginners is a marathon not a sprint.

Many find it easier to stick with a routine if you change it up and keep lots of variety.  Learn different exercises and movements and keep things interesting for yourself.  If you do join a gym, talk to people.  Watch out for techniques you haven't seen before and ask about them.  Also consult one of the trainers on hand about what exercises you should start with for maximum benefit.  When choosing which gym you should join, look for one where this type of service would be available.

As beginning to exercise is a delicate time for a new bodybuilder  in that you are more susceptible to injury due to a lack of conditioning and inexperience, you want to make sure that the gym equipment is in good repair and will taken care of.

I have said before that a solid foundation is just as important a component of your ultimate success as is your commitment to actually following through with the activities.  Take some time when formulating this plan to do the necessary research and develop a solid list of exercises for beginner bodybuilders.
