What Are Some Additional Resources to Help Me Get Started?

Bodybuilding.com is a great resource to visit that has a variety of different workout plans for every level from beginner, intermediate, and advanced. In addition, they have workout plans that are tailored for both men and women, and you can find popular plans in each category. Likewise, you can also sort by goal and find specific plans for weight loss or muscle building. Bodybuilding.com is also great as many of the workout plans include video tutorials. For example, if you’re unfamiliar with what a certain exercise is, a video accompanies each listed exercise so that you can see what equipment you need, how the movement is performed, and common mistakes that are made when doing the movement.

This resource is a Youtube Channel called ATHLEAN-X. This is one of my personal favorites as he has such a great variety of different exercises that can be performed for each muscle. This is a great resource if you decide to build your own workout plan as you can find great exercises on this channel to add to your own personal regiment. In addition, this channel is great for education as well, as he highlights all the muscles that are worked in each exercise and really helps you to understand the anatomy of each muscle. This in turn allows you to have better workouts as a fundamental knowledge of each muscle and muscle group allows you to maximize each workout and really get the results that you want.

The Recreational Sports page at OSU is another great resource for on-campus fitness classes. If you feel intimidated diving in and developing your own workout plan under your own direction, doing classes sponsored by the recreational sports department at Ohio State is a great option to start your journey to boost your physical wellness. While traditional workouts such as weight lifting and cardio is a surefire way to increase your health, don’t forget about the benefits of other things such as yoga and pilates! These classes are awesome to learn more about your own body and maybe ease into working out if you’re not quite ready to begin lifting weights or exercising on your own. The overwhelming majority of these classes at Ohio State are offered for free, so this is a great way to start your journey towards physical wellness.
