How to Start Exercising: A Beginner’s Guide
How you start exercising is up to you. You need to determine the exercise based on your body’s needs. Before you start exercising, set your goals. Decide what type of exercise you want to do. That is, set a clear goal.
You set at least one goal. Suppose you want to lose 10 kg in three months, then plan your exercise accordingly. Schedule daily exercise. For example, cycling for 10 minutes every day, weight lifting according to the body’s needs, or yoga, swimming can start these simple exercises.
Do the exercises that you can do. Starting with heavy exercise can cause problems for your body. Choose exercises that you feel comfortable doing. This will easily achieve your goal.
You can start your goal with simple simple exercises. Like walking or jogging, this exercise does not require any special equipment. You can ride a bicycle, it will keep your heart healthy. You can swim, it will benefit your body aches and pains. Another simple exercise is yoga, which will improve your clarity and reduce anxiety.
If you can dance, it’s also one of the best exercises to get your heart rate up. Avoid heavy lifting as much as possible. But heavy exercise helps increase your load bearing and muscle strength.
But don’t rush into anything, start slowly, build up your morale, or a small injury at the start may motivate you to quit. Gradually increase your exercise time, recording it in a note every day.
Start by exercising 2-3 days a week, increasing to one day the next week. After starting with one exercise, add another one the following week. But you must listen to your body. If you feel pain or fatigue anywhere in the body, rest. Avoid risky exercises as much as possible.
Give yourself two days of rest each week. Come out of nowhere. Get enough sleep. Remember that insufficient sleep can make your body tired. This may interfere with your exercise.
Keep your body hydrated. Drink more water than before during hot season. You can join your favorite exercise buddy to enjoy your workout. Or you can bring family or siblings in your exercise. It will also give time to your family. Your mind will also be good.
Try to do small tasks more. For example, cleaning the house, cleaning the garden etc. Think of a friend or family member as an exercise competitor.
Add new fun tricks every day during exercise. So that while doing the exercise it doesn’t feel like you are exercising.
