On your first day under my tutelage, you’re going to be training legs and abs. The leg and abdominal muscles are a very important part of your foundation as a beginner, so it’s crucial you spend the time building them immediately.
Training your abs is important from a strength and stability standpoint, as well as an injury prevention tool. While the visible six-pack is great, having a strong core is physically important. The core muscles will support you through your heavy compound exercises, such as squats and deadlifts. You don’t want to neglect training these muscles!
