Three tips to consider before you start working out

Growing up, there's nothing I wanted more than strength and well-defined muscles. I loved watching wrestling too. Batista was my idol. I did push-ups and sit-ups religiously, anticipating my "Batista look." Unfortunately, that remained a dream. Frustrated, I quit working out. And quit watching wrestling.

Eleven years later, the workout bug bit me. I visited a gym near my home and enquired about what I needed to start. I was on fire. Nothing could stop me. No "Batista looks" ambition. My work ethic would determine my progress. Six months later, this is what I found out about training.
