Begin Here
Are you new to diet and training? Here’s what you need to do.
- Find a good local gym. The university gym should be convenient, offer cheap membership, and have sufficient equipment.
- Budget your weekly food shopping and supplement purchases. Don’t forget to allow for nights out and other expenses, but plan out what you will be eating in advance.
