Things to be kept in Mind before starting exercise:
1. Ask your doctor before you start any exercise program. First approve a physical to approve that everything is working properly, then find a fitness trainer who will introduce the right technique of it.
2. Make a slow starting. Many beginners make the mistake of doing too much when they first start out. If you haven't worked out in a while (or ever) start with a walking program of about 20 to 30 minutes, 3 days a week. Each session, add a few minutes to your workout to progress each week.
3. Write down your workouts every day, making notes about what you did, how you felt and how you improved since your last workout.
4. Schedule your workouts each week, just like you would a doctor’s appointment.
5. Harass your best friend, spouse or significant other into working out with you.
6. Everyday ask yourself how will you make your life healthier. It can be as simple as drinking more water or parking further away from the front door.
7. Reward yourself a message when you reach your goals, or may be some new workout cloths.
8. Set daily or weekly goals. Long-term goals are best but we forget often why we are working so hard.
9. Prepare for your workout the night before by packing your gym bag or, if you work out at home, laying out your workout clothes so when you get home, you're ready to go.
10. Eat regularly throughout the day so you don't bonk during your workout. |
