Publisher's Synopsis
Sedentary living is as detrimental to your health-if not more so-than smoking. Most people do not get enough regular physical activity, and are aging faster than ever before and developing chronic diseases as a direct result.
Joining a gym is the most effective way to introduce physical activity, especially strength training, into your life. Not only can you boost your ease, enjoyment, and quality of life; you save your own life. With Start Right! you can join a gym with confidence, knowing that you have armed yourself with everything you need to know. Gino A. Spada not only prepares you for what to expect when you walk into a health club for the very first time, but also teaches you how to do all the basic exercises (and many advanced ones) properly, safely and effectively. He also discusses the physical fitness needs of adolescents and what they can do now in preparation of joining a gym at sixteen.
The ultimate guide for those interested in joining a gym for the first time and getting in shape, regardless of age or ability-in plain language, from an experienced trainer and health club owner. Read this book, lose the anxiety, and join up with confidence!
