The Basics
This is an introduction to what will be a series of articles on physical health. I would simply like to say a few things that you may want to keep in mind if you practice any of the methods I will be writing about.
First of all, don't push yourself too far. You don't want to injure yourself. Besides that, you need to be patient about how long it takes your body to develop. Don't try doing more exercises than you know you can do, just because you think you can get bigger muscles faster, or lose weight faster.
What you should do though is push yourself. You can do more than what you sometimes think you can, and when you go beyond your limits is when you are really accomplishing something.
Second, see your doctor if you are unsure of any exercises, especially if you have any health problem, heart conditions, etc. You may prevent any possible injury, or even death.
Third, I am not a professional. The following articles are merely the cause of my experience. I will not be held responsible for any injury, or harm caused by practicing any of these methods. You are doing this strictly by your choice, and at your own risk!
A note of terminology: I'll do my best to describe these methods, and I'll use very basic terms and no complex muscle group names. A couple of things you might need to know though are 'sets' and 'repetitions'. A repetition, or rep, is simply one movement of whatever exercise you are doing. A certain number of repetitions divided up (so that you can take a break in between) is a set.
