Weight Room Jargon 101
It’s hard enough getting technique right in the gym! It helps to know your weight room terminology to ask for help and generally to enhance your gym experience.
I’ll go through some terms you will most likely encounter on a daily basis in the gym
Let’s get started!
CARDIO- This stands for cardiovascular training/conditioning. This is the treadmill, elliptical, bike etc. This is the heart workout, fat burning, sweaty stuff.
RESISTANCE TRAINING-Also called strength and weight training. This is moving your muscles against an opposing force. The opposing force is the machine, dumbbells etc. This is the muscle building, bod toning, hard work stuff.
I have had the hardest time GAINING weight. What can I do?
I have always been a small, slim figured guy. I was premature as a baby about two months which has affected my growth. I am 23 years old and really want to start gaining weight and putting on some muscle mass. I just moved into an apartment complex that has a 24-hr fitness room! Yay! So what do I need to do to prepare – food, length of workout, types of workout, etc? ANY help would be appreciated. THANKS!
