We have a common misconception that there is no gain without pain. Pain is your body's way of alerting you to the fact that something is wrong. Do not disregard this. Before moving on to advanced training, you should complete the "base training."
So you stand on the scales and realize that unless something is done, you won't be able to zip your jeans up any time soon. You're going to start a fitness regimen. These helpful hints will help you start your fitness program.
Consult Your Doctor: Before beginning any fitness program, consult with your doctor. Your doctor is aware of your current health status and will tell you which exercises you should not do. Take your doctor's advice.
Start slowly: specialist athletes did not begin in this manner. They started slow and gradually increased to where they are now. You should begin your new exercise routine slowly and gradually increase your intensity. To avoid injuries, learn to warm up and cool down.
Grab a Friend: committing to a fitness routine can be difficult. Take a friend with you, and you'll be more likely to stick to your routine. Your buddy can be your accountability partner, and you can be your buddy's partner. You can both make it through if you work together.
Walk the Walk: Walking is one of the simplest ways to begin your fitness routine. Begin slow, as stated above, and then increase your distance. Walk around the block for the first couple of days, then a block and a half. Continue to add blocks until you reach a mile or two. Set a goal and work your way up to it. Walking is a good form of exercise that is recommended by most doctors. You can learn to speed up or slow down your pace as needed.
Eat Well: No fitness routine is complete without a well-balanced diet. You're not doing your body any favors if you live on french fries and other fatty foods. A once-in-a-while treat is fine, but if you're eating junk food, it's time to drop those foods from your diet. Remember, you're on a fitness regimen, and you don't want that fat weighing you down.
Make A Routine: Make a routine to help you stay focused and complete your workout. You could get up, make the bed, get the kids on the bus, and then go for a walk. Whatever your routine is, incorporate fitness into it at the same time every day to help your body adjust. If you stick with it for at least three weeks, it will become a natural part of your day.
Use Your Intelligence: If you have a tablet or a smart phone, you can take advantage of many apps that will help you track your progress in your new fitness plan. A few even include a diet plan to follow as well as a calorie counter.
Fitness should be a part of everyone's daily routine. Fitting fitness into your day is simple once you establish a routine and stick to it on a daily basis. Fitness does not have to be boring to be effective. Change it up, take a different route for a run, or go with a friend. Do something you enjoy, and that doesn't mean you should spend money on exercise equipment you'll may never use. Walking is a simple exercise that can be done almost anywhere and in any weather.
Keep in mind that exercise can energise you. Even if you're too tired to exercise, give it a shot. Then you might be surprised at how energized you feel while doing it and after you're done. Exercise is also a stress reliever, and if you know anything about stress, you know that it is one of the body's biggest energy drainers.
