The best weight training and fitness program for you boils down to how you want to use your muscles.

With so many ways now to train your body, from DVD programs, phone apps, crossfit, gym classes, personal training, bootcamps, the big gym, bodybuilding, figure competing, etc. How do you know which one is right for you? How do you know the type of training you are participating in is going to help you reach your needs or goals?
Many people spend years training in ways they either don’t need, or that don’t help them work towards their goal. I am going to break down three common types of training goals and list the one that may be fit you best when it comes to starting your weight/fitness training journey.
>> Someone who needs to strengthen his or her body for very individualized reasons such as an injury, or a specific illness:
>> PERSONAL TRAINING: It allows for a specific individualized program to be created just for your own personal needs
>> Someone who simply wants to look good in a bathing suit and/or just look good in their skin:
BODYBUILDING, FIGURE COMPETING, DVD PROGRAMS or CROSSFIT: These options have a great focus on the aesthetic realm of training along with just trying to get the absolute best possible physique. If you like taking selfies, these options serve you best.
>> Someone who doesn’t care how they look and just wants to feel healthier, fitter, and more athletic:
THE BIG GYM, GYM CLASSES, DVD PROGRAMS or CROSSFIT: These options are for people who are in it to keep on top of their health but don’t have a massive goal outside of just not being out of shape.
Most people fall into one of these three categories. If you are looking to get started on a healthier lifestyle find out which option best suits you and trudge ahead.
