Tips for Starting to Workout

So you may be new to working out, or maybe you sometimes forget the basics.

Here is some great information to make sure you are starting your workout right!

We all know exercising regularly is one of the best things you can do for your health.

Soon after you start exercising you'll begin to see and feel the benefits it can have on your body and well being.

Working out, getting a routine down takes a lot of determination, and sticking to it in the long term requires discipline. I know for me it's hard to get started but once I have a good groove going, I look forward to that time.

Why should you exercise? We all know it helps you lose weight, build muscle but some things you don't think about are; reducing your risk of chronic diseases, helps maintain a good energy level, it can even help your mood and sleep!

Common types of exercise:

Aerobic

Strength

Calisthenics

HIIT

Boot camps

Balance or stability

Flexibility

If you have health issues that might concern you

with working out talk to your doctor before starting a whole workout plan, especially if you are over the age of 45, have heart conditions or even high blood pressure.

Make a plan and set realistic goals; I just started going back to the gym since they opened back up.

I have been away from the gym for a long time.

I do a weight training circuit at the gym and my first day I only did 10 minutes of cardio, my second day I did 15, my goal is to do cardio 45-60 minutes but

I am going to take it slow that way I don't burn myself out.

Make it a habit; if you want success you need to stick to a routine. It takes about 90 days to make a real routine.

So if you stick to it every day by then you are in your groove

and will actually feel bad if you miss your workout.

You don't have to go head first into it, as I said I have started off small, the American College of Sports Medicine recommends 150 minutes

of moderate aerobic exercise per week.

That doesn't mean you can't go longer. The more you do it you can increase the intensity of your fitness level.

Different workout plans:

Mon, Wed & Friday; strength and cardio

or just cardio.....

Mon-Fri take the weekends off, your body

does need rest especially if you are doing strength training!

Main tips;

Stay hydrated

Optimize your nutrition

Warm up

Cool down

Most importantly; listen to your body!

Remember you can always change your workouts up,

you don't have to do the same thing every day!

Have fun & get fit!
