3 Workout Tips for Beginners: Starting Your Fitness Journey

Many people find that starting a fitness journey is the hardest part of getting back in shape. No matter what your end goal is, having a fitness routine will not only better your physical health, but also your mental health. So, it is very important that you start the journey with the right step so that it is a successful journey. To help you, here are some tips on how to do it properly.

Get The Right Gear

Let’s start with how to find the best gear for exercising. No matter what kind of exercise plan you want to follow, a pair of comfortable yoga leggings will help you with it. Such leggings will make it easy to move when exercising whether it is yoga or jogging. The material should be breathable, moisture-wicking and can keep you cool. Choose a good supportive activewear bra, especially if you are on the heavier side.

Have A Goal In Mind, But Be Realistic

One reason people often fail in their fitness journey is because they set their goals too high. Of course, you need to set a goal, but that goal should be something achievable. Hence be realistic and set a goal initially that you know you can do. For example, set working out 3 days a week as your initial goal; when you complete that easily, then you can increase it. This way, you will stay motivated, and your journey will focus more on how you are doing on the road rather than the end goal.

Slow And Steady Wins The Race

Don’t start high-impact exercises at the very start if you have never followed any kind of fitness exercises before. Start with workouts that are low-impact like walking, gentle yoga or swimming. Such exercises will not look daunting and can be done easily with little motivation and willpower. But if you start with high-impact exercises like cardio or weight training, you will not only feel demotivated soon but can also seriously harm your body. Test your endurance level and the fitness level of your body first with low-impact exercises and then go for high-impact ones.

 A fitness journey is not a journey you can cover in a day, week or month. It is a journey that will take time, provided you are consistent with your fitness plan. So, get your pair of comfortable yoga leggings, find the exercise you are most comfortable doing and then set a goal in mind before embarking on a journey to find a healthy life.
