5 Helpful Things to Help Start Your Fitness Program
5 Helpful Things to help you start your Fitness Program!
Springboro, Ohio The most common challenge that people I talk to face is how to incorporate fitness into their lives. They know they have to do something to get in shape but they really dont know how. It can be discouraging because of the abundance of information out there. So much that you may not know where to begin. So where do we begin? Or is the question: How do we begin? The very first thing you need do is go to your doctor and get the approval to start exercising. Your doctor may also provide some helpful tips as well. After you get the OK from your doctor, try these 5 things to help you get started:
Make the Choice to Start Exercising and Eating Right: Making the decision to do something provides a form of commitment you made to your self. Deciding that you need to change behavior creates new possibilities.
Write Down What You Do: You need a reference that is realistic towards your weekly activity. Write down everything you do during the week.
Research and Get Information: Most people do not have enough information before they start a workout program. So how do we get the information we need? The good news is we live in the information age. Take advantage of your favorite search engine and learn a little bit about fitness and nutrition.
Create a Simple Plan and Set Realistic Goals: Keep it Simple! Following a simple plan while on a hectic schedule is much easier than following an elaborate plan. Simple is success.
Execute Your Plan: Now that you have a plan, all you need to do is follow it. This is another big step. You should look at your plan every day upon waking. No matter what you must execute. This will be the hardest (and most rewarding) step.
I hope these things help you get started on a new life of physical fitness. If you are wanting to try something new the COFFMAN Y TRIATHLON sponsored by Milanos is Sunday May 13, 2012 at 2pm. A great race for beginners.
