Exercises for Beginners

Exercises for beginners are best when started gradually and with a proper planning. Learn to kick start the way to fitness when you start workouts as a beginner.

There are countless options for exercising. The objective is to stay fit and feel good. If you wish to enjoy life, it is important that you ensure that you are in good health and it is not an exaggeration to infer that your well being is directly proportional to how well you are keeping your mind and body.

Exercise and regular workout will take care of the well being of your body. And the mind is also indirectly associated with the well being of the body to a large extent. A healthy body is more likely to be full of positive thoughts and high in energy. And, it is never late to start. Even if you have not followed a regular exercise regimen till date, you can always take the first step towards a healthy life.

Finally, it may be a concern about how much exercise should be ideal for the beginner. There can be several viewpoints on this.

How to Start the Exercise Regimen?

It is very important to start it all off in the mind at first. Feel the urge to workout. Unless you kick out the sedentary and the ideal mindset that you have developed over the years, it is difficult to feel at ease with a regular regimen. Once you make up your mind and take a serious decision that you must start and continue with a certain fitness activity, it will act as a resolution that even a momentary bout of laziness will not affect. So, get into the mode first.

What are Your Options?

As a beginner, it is always encouraged to start off with an exercise regimen that you enjoy. Many people have this preconceived notion that exercise is boring and not something to be excited at all. So make sure that you kick start the way to fitness by engaging in any activity that you naturally enjoy. It can be anything from walking to gardening to dancing. Only that, you must enjoy it!

Set a Goal

This is important. Every activity serves its purpose when it is coupled with discipline. There must be a set objective in mind. If you are looking forward to lose weight, you must set a goal that you shall lose a certain number of kgs within a set period. On the other hand, if you want to tone up your body, set a goal like you will start by focusing on a certain part of your body, say, the abdominal muscles or the arm or leg muscles. The moment you have a definite target, it is easier to follow a routine and work towards attaining the result.

Learn the Everyday Exercise Terms

As a beginner, you must acquire knowledge on what a warm-up, a cool-down, a repetition or rep, strength training, resistance training or core training means. Get yourself a book on fitness and workout. It is advisable to enroll yourself into a fitness coaching center. It is important that as a beginner you are aware of the terms that are often used in relation to workouts. In a training class you will also be guided in the various aspects of physiology, which is extremely vital when you are planning to regularise workout.

Finally, do not forget that the success of workout as a beginner will be realised once you are able to choose the correct activity. First you must understand that there is no set rule that will define an exercise routine. Every individual has a different body type, constitution and build up. Therefore, only a trained fitness instructor can help you choose the right workout that will be ideally be beneficial to you. So follow the advice of your instructor and doctor and do not hesitate to report discomfort or pain. But keep in mind that it is natural to experience a bit of muscle pain when you start workouts as a beginner. Only regular exercise will help you overcome that pain and make you feel better and healthier in due course. Any other type of pain must be reported to the doctor.

Beginners need some motivations and sincere efforts to start exercise regimen and once started they can continue. Initially it is tough but later it becomes a habit
