    Currently, the introductory courses for fitness novices on the market are designed around the three directions of movement calibration, basic physical fitness, and interest exploration, and the content is basically not too complicated.

    When I helped my brother choose an introductory class last year, the chain gym near my home first offered three free movement calibration classes for newcomers. To put it bluntly, they broke down the most basic compound movements such as squats, deadlifts, chest presses, and rowing, and taught them how wide to stand, and how to inhale or exhale when exerting force. You can understand everything clearly. An uncle who was in the same class at that time had knee pain after practicing squatting blindly for half a month. After two classes, he said that most of the pain was gone. This kind of class may seem boring, but in fact it is to add safety patches to all your subsequent fitness movements, so as to prevent you from damaging your waist and knees by practicing blindly.

    Once you have mastered the power of basic movements, and no longer shrug your shoulders as soon as you raise your arms, or push your knees forward as soon as you squat, you can choose some basic physical fitness classes. These classes are generally not high-intensity. Low-impact aerobics, beginner trampoline classes, and introductory mat core classes are all popular options in the gym. I used to have a designer. My friend has been sitting for a long time and has back pain. At first, he struggled to lift 2kg dumbbells, so he signed up for basic circuit training classes twice a week. They are a combination of small weight and multiple sets of movements. Each session lasts for 40 minutes. In less than two months, not only has the problem of shoulder and neck soreness been mostly cured, but now he can follow more intense boxing classes.

    There are also many introductory courses specifically designed for interests. Introduction to powerlifting, introduction to yoga, introduction to boxing and even introduction to indoor rock climbing are quite common now. Speaking of this, there is a point of debate among many people: many fitness veterans believe that novices should not take specialized courses as soon as they start. Failure to lay a good foundation will easily lead to injuries. There are also many young enthusiasts who feel that it is easier to stick to what they are interested in directly. There are two situations around me. A little girl born in 2000 that I met a while ago loves to dance. She directly signed up for an introductory jazz dance class. She danced very happily every time she took the class. She lost 12 pounds in three months without any injuries. The main reason was that her coach would keep an eye on everyone's movements and adjust them. If the coach couldn't take care of the dozens of people in a large class, it would be easy to cause problems.

    To be honest, novices really don’t have so many rules when choosing courses. If you are not sure, book two trial classes first and give it a try. Don’t listen to the sales scam and just buy a course package worth several thousand. After all, the introductory course that makes you willing to take time to go every week is the most suitable introductory course for you.
