How should a beginner start working out?

When you start to workout with weights, come in expecting that things are going to be awkward at first. Hire a coach to help you get through this because there's so much information that is out there. The reality is that unless you have someone watching you and walking you through and understanding how you move, communicate and learn, you're really doing yourself a disservice and you're going to be spending a lot of time just trying to figure things out on your own. Whereas the coach themselves have the experience and the goals to get you into weightlifting in a faster, more reasonable way because they pretty much have done the work and studied and can implement the necessary strategies for you
