Hi there folks. I'll start by introducing myself. My main sport is hockey, I started weight training when I was 14 and was playing at a national standard. My coach recommended building more strength in my legs so I could play closer to the ground and set me up with some resistance training exercises. From there I became hooked and got really serious with my local gym. From there I managed to get a job with the team of instructors and I am now qualified to instruct people as a P.T.
Obviously whenever someone comes into the gym and pays for a programme, we will work with them to find something that caters for their own specific needs. However there are a number of different 'generic' workouts that have been created that are great for beginners and people that just want to pick something up quickly and give it a go.
I will post up a number of different routines that we have in a folder in the gym. Very similar versions have also recently appeared in an iPhone app named iFitness (I'd imagine from the same source!).
If you dont know how to do any of the exercises mentioned then please just ask or use Google/Youtube, there are literally thousands of resources that can help you. Also, if someone doesnt like or feels uncomfortable doing any one of these exercises then feel free to ask and myself or someone else on the forum will be happy to give you an alternative move that works the same muscle group.
