It’s important to
decide what type of working out you want to engage in- lifting weights,
dancing, swimming, biking, etc.
It’s important
that whatever you choose, you choose something that you enjoy doing, to
increase your chances of sticking to it. If, for example, you choose weight
lifting, you could start off with a workout that looks something like this:
3 days a week,
lift weights
Each time, do a
full-body workout, Begin with
stretches and some cardio to warm up.
Do 3 sets of 8-12
reps of one exercise per each body part (i.e. shoulders, hamstrings, biceps,
abs, etc.)
If you decide to
do just cardio instead as a starter, you could do something like this: 3 days a week, do
cardio
Each time, you
can either do the same form of cardio or switch it up (i.e. elliptical trainer,
treadmill, bike)
Begin with
stretches and some very easy, slow-paced cardio to warm up
Workout for 15-30
minutes, depending on your ability level(Stretch as part
of a cool down routine)
It’s important to
start off slow and gradually build up. With weight lifting, you can add more
weight to your lifts as you progress.
With cardio, you
can add more time to your sessions as you progress. You don’t want to jump in
head deep and not have anywhere to progress to or over train and get burnt out.
Baby steps are key when starting a workout program.
