    Strength Training Machine:How To Stay Motivated At Strength Training With & Without A Strength Training Machine - Jason Scotts

    Chapter 1 - Identify Your Goals

    Before embarking upon a strength-training program, you should identify your goals. As we mentioned in the introduction, there are many possible goals for a fitness program. Look at the following list and see how many of these goals are yours. You don't have to choose only one; it's perfectly feasible to achieve several different goals through strength training!

    ·         Get stronger

    ·         Lose weight

    ·         Gain weight

    ·         Improve muscle tone

    ·         Get ripped physique of a bodybuilder

    You’ll get fitter and stronger, as well as improve your muscle tone by following any good strength-training program. This implies, of course, that you exercise regularly. Consistency is the key to any fitness program.

    However, some goals are obviously more specialized. When it comes to strength training, most people want to either lose or gain weight. These are obviously two goals that are complete opposites. To some extent, working out will normalize you, and help to reach your ideal weight. However, there are different approaches you’ll want to take depending on whether you want to pack on some pounds (in the form of muscle of course) or shed them.

    A lot of this will come down to your diet, which we’ll discuss in a later chapter. If you're one of those fortunate people who actually like your weight then you’re one step ahead of the game!

    If you have aspirations towards being a bodybuilder, you’ll have to devote a lot more time to your fitness program than someone who’s simply trying to get fitter and a bit stronger. This isn't a book about bodybuilding, so we won't be going into any specialized routines you must do for that purpose. This type of information is not hard to find, though.

    Even if you want to become a bodybuilder, you should first start out with the basics. If you rush headfirst into an advanced program when you haven't exercised much lately, you risk getting burned out or injured.

    When identifying your goals, you should consider other factors, such as:

    ·         Your age

    ·         Lifestyle

    ·         Your overall state of health

    Should You Consult With Your Doctor?

    It's always a good idea to see a doctor before starting any new exercise program. This is especially true if you're over 40 or have any long-term health conditions. This doesn't mean you have to be perfectly healthy to start exercising.

    On the contrary, an exercise program is one of the best ways to get healthier. But if you have any health problems or are taking any type of medication, your doctor can suggest ways to ensure your safety.

    Very young people, who are in their early teens or younger should also consult with a doctor before getting involved in strength training. This is because your bones and muscles haven't finished growing yet, which makes you more vulnerable to injuries. Parents should consult with their child's doctor if you want to know what type of exercise is appropriate.

    Chapter 2 - How Much and How Often?

    The type of strength training routine you do and how often you work out will depend on your goals. One word of advice that applies to everyone is
