Not having a strong foundation in your training is a problem that will catch up with you sooner rather than later. Many people just look at certain magazines or internet sites and assume that they can too exercise like the model used in the photograph or video.
Most people don’t realize a couple of things that are hugely important!
1. The exercise being shown as a wonder exercise may not be the right thing for them.
2. Re-creating that exercise without proper instruction is much harder than imagined, with injury a very real possibility.
3. The exercises shown are never explained in the context of how they fit into your programme, in a workout or a week full of workouts.
There are many other reasons but no need to go on and on about the lack of suitability of these methods in photos and videos.
The whole point of this piece is to re-enforce the importance of training hard but properly for a substantial period of time. This will indeed give you the foundation on how to train hard, efficiently, make progress and very importantly, NOT GET INJURED!
This site is all about doing things the RIGHT way and stopping you waste time on faddy exercise programmes, both in print and videos online. Not all are bad of course, but a substantial number are after a cheap buck produced by charlatans of the highest order.
It’s vital to get proper instruction especially when you begin and exercise programme, and when you are ready to make that next step up so don’t be afraid to ask a qualified professional!!
