YouTube video, Lygdbäck shared his top tips for gym beginners, giving advice on training programs, mindset, and everything in between. To start, Lygdbäck says before you go to the gym for the first time, you should ask yourself one question: What is my motivation?"If you're going for the wrong reasons or have unrealistic goals to start off, there's a big chance you might get discouraged and eventually quit," he says. "Remember: this should be a lifestyle shift, not a phase.
"Lygdbäck advises beginners to test a few gyms in their local area before buying a membership, taking advantage of trial periods to find the one that is most comfortable for their needs. The celebrity trainer also advises beginners to begin their fitness journey solo instead of going with a friend, building up independent accountability and comfort. "If you go with an accountability partner, the risk is that when they quit, you quit," he advises.
Before heading to the gym, Lygdbäck says it's best to eat a meal with protein, carbs, and good fats within a three-hour window before working out. When heading out, Lygdbäck says to bring a water bottle (obviously) and maybe some music. But he cautions against bumping your jams too loud, as it can cause you to be unaware of your surroundings and cause you to make a lot of noise slamming weights and such.
Aside from wearing comfortable athleticwear, Lygdbäck says you should also pick up a good pair of sneakers made for what you are doing in the gym. "I shouldn't have a pair of running shoes if I'm trying to do deadlifts or lifting weights at all. And I shouldn't have a lifting shoe while I'm running on the treadmill," he says, adding that hybrid shoes are good if you plan to do a bunch of different exercises.
