3. Understand your limitations and adjust your goal accordingly

If you had a recent leg injury don’t force the recovering muscle. If you are taking medications that might cause weight gain, talk to your doctor about your options and revise your goal. If you have a hormonal imbalance make sure you treat it first.

4. Find an exercise plan that makes you happy

the most important thing is to do what you like. If you hate gyms then train outdoors in a park. If you have no idea of where to start, then join a fitness club so you can learn from group classes and personal trainers. If you prefer digital trainings, do so. There are many options to get you motivated.

Basically you will have to choose the training plan or exercises that works for you, if you are still feeling confused, try multiple options and see what happens, your body will tell you, there is no right or wrong fitness practice. Here is a list of options:

Cardio exercise

the simplest way to start getting active is to go out and do it! start with a brisk walk, a bike ride, or try running, it’s free. If you prefer indoor training, activities such as running on a treadmill, rowing, cycling and/or dancing can get you moving.

Balance training and flexibility

Pilates, mobility stretches, and/or yoga strengthen muscles, maintain range of motion, and prevent injury. You can practice it on your own, take a private lesson in a studio, or a group class for social interaction.

Calisthenics, Primal fitness

Anything from squats, bends, lunges, sit-ups, pushups, pull-ups, twists, hinges, to knee mobility stretches. You use your own body weight, there is no need for gym equipment. You can follow functional trainers on YouTube to get free training routines.

Strength training

Resistance training and weightlifting. Requires gym equipment and a personal trainer to correct your form.

HIIT

High-intensity interval training is very effective for weight loss, you will need a personal trainer or a group class with the right equipment.

Boot camp

High-intensity circuits that combine aerobic and resistance exercises.

5. Commit to your fitness goal

if you want results you need to sweat it. Following a routine, exercising schedule, or consistent workout plan for the first month will help you to maintain the habit in the long term. Here is a sample weekly training plan for a beginner:

• Tuesday: dance class or Rest day.
• Wednesday: strength training
• Thursday: Rest day.
• Friday: HIIT
• Saturday: 30-min bike ride or rest day

6. Hydrate before, during and after Physical activity

Drink water during the day, also other natural drinks like coconut water, lemon water, green tea, milk, etc. are great options to help you stay hydrated. If you are loosing more fluids than you are drinking, you might be dehydrated. Signs of dehydration include:

• dark yellow, strong-smelling pee
• peeing less often than usual
• feeling dizzy or lightheaded
• feeling tired
• a dry mouth, lips and tongue
• Headache

7. Follow a meal plan that supports your fitness goal

You should also start paying attention to your calories and your specific dietary restrictions, for example If you are gluten or lactose intolerant make sure you avoid inflammatory foods.

If you really want to go over the top try to incorporate aromatherapy ❤️ after your workout.

9. consider taking dietary supplements for optimal results

Depending on individual needs, you might benefit from taking protein, collagen or joint supplements after your workout. Ideally you use high quality, non synthetic products only. And no magic pills or ozempic shots, please be careful, be mindful of your choices. Respect your body.

10. Have patience, results take time and effort

Your fitness transformation is a process that depends on many factors. Stay focused and keep making progress towards your goal. Don’t get discouraged, be positive and disciplined.
