This so much as long as they're knowledgeable. 100 years ago the football coaches tossed us in the weight room and said hit it. I have long term injuries because of doing shit the wrong way/sloppily for a long time. At our age, (you and me), we can't afford to add to the list.well, if you have no workout experience, get a personal trainer. they'll show you how to do the moves correctly to avoid injuring yourself and teach you and guide you.
It's not, for sure, but "basic" stuff like small muscle functions are something I never heard about until I paid a guy.That's not practical for many people.
Yeah. its expensive. Some gyms offer courses or weight room guides or stuff that isn't PT but can still help. Youtube can be helpful (and can also be a disaster - find someone reputable). And if you decide to just jump in, do substantially less than you think you can until you know what you're doing. If you want to curl 15 pounds, pick up 5s instead. That kind of thing. If you're just getting off the couch, your muscles are weak as hell - no offense intended. its just how it is. weak muscles doing too much leads to injury.That's not practical for many people.
It's not necessarily the money, it's the time commitment. The topic was home workout videos because of the time and possibility of actually following through, as a couple. As a couple is right there in the OP, guys. I know that everybody wants to preach it, but please address the OP as it is.Yeah. its expensive.

this is true of all fitness, not just lifting. cycling, swimming, running, etc. too and those sports are more my background than lifting. i don't consider myself a lifter.
are you new to fitness? what are your goals?
