What to workout when you don’t know?

Do a cardio exercise—like jump roping, running in place, or jumping jacks—for two minutes to get your heart rate up. Then do a mobility or self-massage drill for two minutes for active recovery. That’s 1 round. Move onto a new cardio and recovery move each round.

How should beginners start working out?

Start slowly and build up gradually.

Give yourself plenty of time to warm up and cool down with easy walking or gentle stretching. Then speed up to a pace you can continue for five to 10 minutes without getting overly tired. As your stamina improves, gradually increase the amount of time you exercise.

Why do I feel so awkward working out?

Being uncomfortable at the gym is no picnic in the park. This can occur for many reasons: poor body image, the fear that comes from having been away for too long, or low energy levels and motivation from a lack of exercise over a long period of time.

How do you start get fit when you are very unfit?

How can you start exercising safely if you are simply unfit? We want you to get to 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, or 75 minutes of high-intensity exercise, but start slower and build more gradually. A good way to start would possibly be a 10-minute walk three times a week. Then gradually increase.

Getting started

  1. One of the safest ways to get started is to try brisk walking (or some other low-impact activity) for bouts of 10 minutes.
  2. Aim for a pace where your breathing and heart rate are elevated but you can still talk in sentences.
  1. Make it fun. Find sports or activities that you enjoy, then vary the routine to keep it interesting.
  2. Make physical activity part of your daily routine. If it’s hard to find time for exercise, don’t fall back on excuses.
  3. Put it on paper.
  4. Join forces with friends, neighbors or others.
  5. Reward yourself.
  6. Be flexible.
