They say
exercise is life. This might be a bit of an exaggeration, but there is no
arguing the fact that you need physical workouts to be both beautiful and
healthy. Exercise will keep your body toned, so the first signs of aging won’t
appear for many years.
Spring is the perfect time to start with your new fitness program. This will help you lose any weight you might have gained during the cold months and prepare your body for summer when you will go down to the beach in your bikini.
However, you must not be reckless with your workouts. Overworking yourself will have a massive negative effect on your health. So today, we offer you some tips from fitness professionals that will help you start your new exercise program with the right foot.
- Set
the RIGHT fitness goals.
Losing weight is too generalized a goal to actually be of any value in this program. If you want to get some visible results that will help you keep your motivation to exercise, you need to set definite achievable goals that will eventually lead you to the grand prize, namely “losing weight”.
As you are not a fitness pro, you should talk to a qualified trainer in order to develop these goals as well as your exercise plan. In case this isn’t a viable option for you, look up some professional fitness programs available online. - Choose
the RIGHT gear.
You can actually end up injured if you work out wearing inappropriate gear. Your shoes must be a perfect fit in size and support. You also need to consult the salesperson in the store and explain what kind of activity you will do. The type of shoes will depend on this.
The fabrics of your exercise clothes should be able to absorb sweat quickly and efficiently. You should wear a special kind of sports bra to support your breasts and reduce the risk of injury. - Stop
at the RIGHT time.
Learn how to read the warning signs your body sends when it starts to tire. It’s imperative that you stop immediately as overworking is very dangerous during your first fitness sessions.
Drop what you are doing if you experience pain during performing an exercise, or if you feel nauseous and dizzy. Uncomfortable racing heart and cold sweat are signs of serious trouble. If you feel anything of the sort, Sit down and seek help immediately. - Do
the RIGHT exercises.
There is a great number of exercises you can perform to get the body of your dreams. Alas, not all of them are safe for you. Some of the factors that must be considered when developing a personalized workout plan for you are your body constitution, level of physical fitness, health conditions, genetic predisposal to some health problems (heart disease, osteoporosis, etc.)
The best thing to do is to discuss your exercise routine with your doctor and a professional fitness trainer. This will allow you to ensure that the exercises you are about to perform will not have any negative effect on your overall health.
In case you don’t have access to a trainer, study various exercise programs and seek advice online. Once you compile a workout routine that seems perfect for achieving your goals, show it to your doctor.
