Which workout routine is best for you?

accreditation

The most challenging thing about fitness is that, while we all understand what we need to achieve, only a few of us know what needs to be done to reach the desired result.

But there is a solution for anyone looking for free advice and tools to reach their fitness goals – the FreeTrainers website, which has been offering just that since 2000.

The website has loads and loads of exercises, workout plans, nutrition information and diets, as well as a few more community features to help with motivation and support.

FreeTrainers provides in-depth information about workouts – which muscle group they are targeting, what to do and when to do it. Even though they haven’t advanced to explaining workouts with videos, they have photos of professional trainers executing all the workouts so that you know how they should be done.

One of the best things about the site is that you can create your own account where you can manage your goals, calendar and meals according to your week.

The community section is where you interact with other people about your goals and questions, you are able to join groups, and share your experiences and journey.

There is also a blog section where you can follow people with the same goals as yours or create your own at the same time.

Overall, FreeTrainers is basic and easy to understand, you can learn more about workouts and create your own weekly routines that maintain your lifestyle. Aside from wanting videos rather than pictures to explain the workouts, I would like a more interactive calendar that one can play around with.

If you are looking for input from professional trainers but don’t really have the budget for it, this should be your next stop. It is also a good excuse to spend more time on your phone while at the gym.
